Can my motherboard HP OA58h handle this Pentium Dual-core E6500 cpu?

Can my motherboard, a HP OA58h with a Conroe Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 socket 775 be changed to a Wolfdale E-6500 socket 775 processor? thanks

Hello, and welcome to THG.

Yes it will, but still check the BIOS and see if you need to update or flash it.

looks like the highest is the C2D e6700 that you can safely put in
not worth the money for performance gained in my opinion
