Would Intel Core 2 Duo Be Compatible With Compaq Evo D510 Convertible Minitower

[BK_123]

Hi all, I have a Compaq Evo D510 convertible minitower that I was given for free, I am thinking about putting a Core 2 Duo Processor in, From my research haven't been able to find anything that clearly tells a yes or no answer, If not what would be a suitable CPU upgrade?

Specs are here Compaq Evo D510 Convertible Minitower*-* Compaq Evo D510 Convertible Minitower PC - Specifications - c00338510 - HP Business Support Center

Hi BK_123

Your PC is socket lga 775 and Core 2 Duo can be bought in 775 (eg) E8400 but you need to go to your Motherboards web site and check compatibility.

Right I will get on to that and let you know..

Just done some research, I think the answer is no, http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...c00063244&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=96300..

Mmmm that says its Socket 478 (older then 775) so maybe not.

Maybe scan will show exactly try SIW 2011 Home Edition (freeware) bottom of the page its standalone > http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.php
