Hi,
I am currently using and HP system with a Asustek Basewood mobo and a intel q6600 quad 2.4gz. I have been making some upgrades to it and now the cpu is the only real weak link in the system. What i need to know is is it possible to install a new cpu in a prebuilt machine? or will the mobo not allow it?. Thanks to anyone who can lend some advice.
