CPU UPGRADE

[DavidUlman]

Hello, 

 

i would like to know if my Acer m3802 compatible with Xeon W3550 or with i7-920 which are currently really cheap in eBay.

Also are Xeon W3550 and i7-920 have better preference then my current cpu: Intel core2 quad q8300?

 

Thanks in advance !

I doubt it as laptop chips are different then normal ones.

The q8300 is 775 and the early i7s were 1366 so idk if thats going to work

The Q9650 or QX9650 are the fastest chips that you will be able to get.

Thanks about the answers,

 

i just checked Q9650 in eBay and I have seen that Xeon X5450 is like Q9650... is Xeon x5450 also supported by my motherboard & pc?

It's not officially supported, but it's possible. You have to mod your board and your chip to do it.
