Hi, I have A HP A6412P Desktop With an Asus IPIBL-LB Motherboard, E2180 2.0GHZ CPU, 3GB RAM, and a Nvidia 8400GS:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01386826&cc=ca&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3704514

I would like to Upgrade my CPU to a Q8300 Core 2 Quad: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=39107

But I don't Know if my Motherboard will support it:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01324212&cc=ca&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_CAEN

The motherboard has a LGA775 Socket, Supports a 1333MHZ FSB So it would make sense for it to support the Q8300, But does not list the Q8300 as a compatible CPU. Although it Does Support The Q9000 series which has the same Yorkfield core as the Q8300.

Please Help!!!!

Honestly it will work the only difference between the Wolfsdale core v.s Yorkfield core is that they run slightly different L2 Cache as long as your motherboard can support 12MB of cache you would be fine!

That is My Mobo but Only lists these Procs

* Intel Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield core) Q9xxx
* Intel Core 2 Duo (Wolfsdale core) E8xxx
* Intel Core 2 Quad (Kentsfield core) up to Q6600
* Core 2 Duo E6x00 (Conroe core) up to E6700
* Core 2 Duo E4x00 (Conroe core) up to E4400

I want to use a Q8300 (Yorkfield Core)

The Q8xxx Series is not listed Above
How do you Know it will work?

One is Quad core, and one is dual core silly.

Very different.
