Yes you can. The motherboard uses a LGA775 socket and both CPUs use the LGA775 socket. Just make sure your BIOS is up to date and you’ll be fine

Ok. It got stuck? Can you try and run it again?

What amount of money are you willing to spend to make this upgrade a reality?

Your motherboard will support a Intel 2 Quad processor just fine. As I said, it uses a LGA775 socket and it’ll work just fine

The Intel Core 2 Quad processor was released in 2008. Your motherboard was released in 2009. You’ll be fine Your computer is also a mini-tower, so it’ll support:

Q9550

Q9650

Q9400

Q8300

Q8200
