Processor upgrade

[Nick2345]

Hello,
Will a MS-7525 (Boston) motherboard be able to run Intel Core Dou E6550 CPU?
I've just ordered the product, was wondering if I'll be able to put it on my motherboard.

Heres the info about the CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/30783/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E6550-(4M-Cache-2_33-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB)

Hp site says it doesn't support?

It doesn't look like it. That's the list HP gives for the Compaq's with that motherboard and according to them they are the CPU's that-that motherboard supports. OEM motherboars tend to be very limited in what CPU and RAM it can support.
