Hi All, I have a HP ML110 G4 which I use as workstation, it came with a Pentium D 2.8GHZ CPU and I would like to upgrade the cpu so I can use Hyper-V.
I did some search and notice that from HP docs, it says: Supported CPU: (source 1) Processor: Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 3000 sequence; Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D processors 800 or 900 sequence; Single-Core Intel® Celeron® D processors
So it looks like the xeon 3040 or 3050 could be the only choice.
I also found out that the chipsets used in the motherboard are as following: North bridge Intel 3000 South bridge Intel ICH7R
further digging into this reveal that similar motherboards that use the same chipsets are capable of supporting xeon 3200 quad-core CPUs!
the following two are the examples:
Intel Entry Server Board S3000AH SuperMicro PDSML-LN2+
I am not a hardware guru thus I would like to ask for help here.
Can anyone possiblly tell me that whether the motherboards made of same chipsets will support same CPUs? In my case, will a xeon quad-core X3220 fit into the HP ML110 G4 machine? Thanks in advance and I do appreciate any help.

I would call or email hp. I couldn't find your board specs. I have used compaq's online tech support, and it works pretty well. There was no charge for the service.
