(MoC) Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well thing is that my socket is compatible with some C2Ds out there and I'd like to upgrade. The other part is that my board is a little older - an Intel 865G. Do you think my HP D530 would accept a Core 2 Duo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(MoC) Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 What about a first gen C2D. You know, the one that was called Pentium D.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyKelly Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Some 865G motherboard do supports C2D even C2D Extreme with BIOS update. Like the Gigabyte GA-8I865GME-775-RH-AS, supports both Pentium D and C2D. If you plan to upgrade I think you need to contact HP Support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
