Hello,my old hp pavilion has a Narra 3 mobo with a bios version 5.05. HP states that this mobo can take up to AMD 9600 x4 95w .Is there a chance my system will recognize an AMD Phenom II x4 95w without a bios upgrade ?

Thanks.I read about a few people that managed such an upgrade only they had bios version 5.13 or 5.14.
they report that the processor seemd to work fine only it showed on the bios as unknown processor.I just wonder if my pc will boot up at all...
