Hello everyone,
I have 945 gct-hm motherboard which has 775socket and i am trying to upgrade the processor.Currently,its running on Core2duo e4600 but its too slow for gaming and i am planing to upgrade to a core2quad processor.So my problem is when i went to hp's official website and looked up for the gct-hm maximum supported processor i found that this specific motherboard only supports upto e4300 even though it has 775socket.So am i safe to buy core2quad processor or just stick with e4600? Also is there anyway i could upgrade the bios because i didnt find the required files in the official website to do it.Any help is appriciated.
