Re: Upgrade Processor
Prosessors are one of the hardest things to replace.
I will need the motherborad manufacturer and product ID (like Intel 890X-GF3) thats found on the board.

Re: Upgrade Processor
Yeah, unfortunately even if the slot type is the same you still need to know voltages, core speeds and multipliers, and ensure the processor specs match.

Re: Upgrade Processor
- Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:
- Socket type: AM2+
- TDP: 95 watt
- AMD Phenom II Quad-Core
- AMD Phenom II Triple-Core
- AMD Phenom Quad-Core (A) 9xxx series (AM2+)
- AMD Phenom Triple-Core (T) 8xxx series (AM2+)
- AMD Athlon X4
- AMD Athlon X3
- AMD Athlon X2 (B) (AM2+)
- Socket type: AM2+
It may be that the Black Edition needs more watts that the rest (95w vs. 148w [idle]), but other that that, i'm not sure..

Re: Upgrade Processor
Um which of these multicore processors do you believe would be compatible with Black ops since it requires a lot from the computer.

Re: Upgrade Processor
If there is a compatible problem how much would a motherboard cost that is compatible with the new processor you have?

Re: Upgrade Processor
Getting one with the same dimentions is the hard part.
also, according to AMD, it should compatible with that motherboard. Its some other hardware currently in the pc thats not.

Re: Upgrade Processor
And not software? I don't see anywhere the size of your power supply, could you post that.
I noticed your computer is Manufacturer: Compaq-Presario and that you stated

which makes me wonder if Compaq-Presario say it is compatible?501st_commander wrote:according to AMD, it should compatible with that motherboard.

Re: Upgrade Processor
Socket Type is not the only consideration. The supported processor listing in the system BIOS of the motherboard matters to.
Example Case:
Dell Dimension 8400 Desktop- Year 2004 Model
Socket LGA 775
Pentium 4 HT 3.2GHz
Intel Q9400 Core 2 Quad 2.66GHz- Year 2008 Q'3'
Socket LGA775 CPU
Even though they share the same sockets, the CPU is not supported due to the motherboard being outdated for that CPU line and the CPU Hardware ID not being in the supported list of the BIOS.
For AMD, allot of the AM3 line is usable in AM2+ boards but only in the more recent ones. AMD is a bit better on backwards compatibility than Intel, but it's not 100%.
This is why I recommended one of those AM2+ CPUs to you over xfire. The AM2+ CPUs are 99.99% likely to work based on the year they were released.
