Hi, i've recieved an old HP Pavilion a6412sc which i want to upgrade but i'm kind of confused of which CPUs does it support. It's this one: Here. I don't know if it supports either a C2D E8600 or a C2Q Q9650.
From my research, the quads are not available for this motherboard, but what about the E8600?
Also, i'm willing to upgrade for the Q9650 and which is the cheapest possible motherboard i can buy USED that will support Q9650 and that i can use my RAM memory on it so i don't buy another one.
CPU: E2160 1.8ghz
GPU: GT 220 1gb
MB: MS 7525 1.0
RAM: Samsung DDR2 4GB 800MHz
HDD: 360gb Seagate + 250GB WD Black caviar
