I am considering upgrading my dual core 2.0 to a dual core 3.0 on my nvidia nforce 630i motherboard. I contacted hp and all they said was that they didnt know if it would work and its a complex task. So is it really that hard?

motherboard: 630i  
Mainboard processor socket LGA775 Socket

this is what i want to upgrade to
CPU type / Model / Core

CPU Speed: 3 GHz

Bus Speed: 1333 MHz

L2 Cache Size: 4 MB shared

Package Type: LGA 775

Manufacturing Technology: 65 nM

It definitely pulls enough power, I'm not sure if changing the CPU will automatically match the other components to make it compatible. I've heard it sometimes does, sometimes doesn't. I'd try another forum, to tell you the truth. People here like to stick to posts about blowjobs and cutting... and for some reason I stay.

As long as the size (ie, same base nanometer structure) and the socket is of the same type for both then it should be fine. That seems to be good from the socket type you put for the motherboard and the processor (ie, Socket T). Check the thermal design power for the motherboard and see if it can support that much power.

the fuck are you talking about, socket T?? h
it's said right there in the specs "LGA775", which is perfectly compatible with his CPU.
the socket isnt an issue

LGA775 is Socket T, shows how much you know. That's what I explained that the socket is the same for both of them.

and didnt need to know that useless fact, which in no way helps the guy either. he obviously already established socket compatibility without you even mentioning it. besides, i've been selling computers and peripherals for two years, and make top commission, so yea, i know my shit :)

I can't really see any problem, 630i supports the FSB, it's still 65nM.

Possibly there may be issues that the mobo doesn't support it... but I think it should.
