Hi all,
Hit a bit of confusion as to what i can and can't put into on of these wee beaties CPU wise...
Intels downloadable "what chipset is it?" tool, is telling me it has an i945GV chipset with a 775 LGA CPU socket. and will support either an 800/1066Mhz FSB.
however, CPU-Z tells me it is a rev2 i945GZ that will take a 533/800Mhz FSB.
then sisoft sandra tells me, supports multiprocessors,current FSB of 4x200Mhz (800Mhz), Max FSB of 4x 267Mhz (~1066Mhz).
so just for a giggle, i upgraded the bios to the latest available on HP's website, and plugged in a 775 socket Core2Quad 6600. nothing. just a red flashing powerlight. drat. plugged the 2.8Ghz P4 521 back in instead. all working. now a working machine is much better than a non working machine, but can this machine be made to run with core2 CPU's? the chiupset supports it, just seems to be the bios...
