Read the link for more info, like buy the adapter, and maybe check the BIOS to see there is any in the HP/compaq site or not, becuase the Xeon e5450 is the lga771 type, you need the adapter.
Here the same link for the detail. http://www.delidded.com/lga-771-to-775-adapter/2/
If your pc is this https://www.cnet.com/products/hp-compaq-500b-c-e3200-2-4-ghz-monitor-none-series/specs/ because it has the g41 chipset so that they are compatible. And check the link for more info.

That board supports up to Q8300 and E5450 may work but you will have to modify the socket and buy the tape to make it able to work with lga 775 and there a slight chance it will work.
I would just buy a Q6600 they are quad cores and are cheap.

Yes that's the same system. i've Intel G41 Chipset. So i'll just have to replace the processor right and it'll work?
