[TwistedSlink]

Hi I have an old HP xw6200 laying around and I wondered if It could be possible to upgrade the processor in it it would be helpful if you could state the CPU that's compatible PS I would love to give it a new leash of life but the CPU is a terrible bottleneck is it possible to have 2 dual cores or 2 quad cores of some sort help would be really appreciated Btw can you give me the info in a understandable way Thnx I appreciate any replies

so it could be the hp bios's only support the cpu they put in it and that's all ?? so it may not accept any chips out side of what HP put in it from the factory ??

welcome to the world of a prebuilt

I wouldn't spend a cent on that system anymore. It's a Pentium 4 generation. There's nothing you can put in it to make it viable.
