Just received a hp m93404 hp pavilion elite still in the box from a coworker who didn't want it. I was thinking it would be fun to pump it up and see what I can make it do from parts on ebay. Currently it has a core 2 quad q6700 cpu which is a lga 775 socket in it and a benicia gl8e motherboard from what I can gather on the google. The trouble I am having is finding the best upgrade for it as I have heard that 775 socket had a long standing history and not all 775 socket cpus will fit. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
 
Solution
Not much to pump up there, Q9650 eventually but will not be much of an upgrade even if notoriously (for brand name systems) poor BIOS may allow.
