The BIOS may have a list of allowable CPUs.

Does it mean it 'may' be possible or not?

Pleaser confirm you have a HP Compaq dc5800 Microtower PC looks like this : https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Compaq-dc5800-Microtower-PC/3658081

if so according to HP http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01362760 this is the list of possible CPus that will run on that motherboard
