Mobo+cpu compatability

[Fuzion]

I plan on upgrading my cpu sometime in the future, right now i'm on a celeron d 3.33ghz, but my budget isn't big enough to pay for a new motherboard.

My current motherboard is http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c00864922

So my question is, could i run any other processors than the ones listed?

I'm looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116070

and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116072

Also, on the site with my mobo specs it says Front-side bus (FSB)

* 800/533 MHz (processor dependent) what exactly does it mean by "processor dependent"?


Thanks

The socket type for both the mobo and the processor is an LGA 775, so theoretically it should work although I have no idea if it would for sure as it's not listed.
As for the FSP, I think it just means it can be either of those MHz depending on the processor.

EDIT: Think I was wrong. Quoted from another site:

Motherboard / [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]processor[/COLOR][/COLOR] compatibility usually comes down to what chipset your motherboard has. In your case, you have the ATI RC415 Northbridge. I couldn't find much information on that particular chipset, unfortunately. But, I did find this page listing the specs of a HP/Compaq computer with that same motherboard.

According to what that page says, it looks like your board is not compatible with Core2Duo. You can use Pentium D, however.

both of the CPU's you picked out will work with your motherboard

but this one is better hands down

Is there any proof to back that up? Everything I have read says otherwise despite the socket type.

Heh I feel your pain. I had a 15" before I had this 24" and 19" dual linked. Makes all the difference in the world!

Because they are both socket 775 they will work fine together.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THE APPARENT COMPATIBILITY OF THE SOCKETS. I had this problem when I built my computer. Feel free to buy another processor that will fit your socket, but KEEP YOUR OLD ONE. Your processor may not be supported by the BIOS, so you may have to swap back to your old processor in order to do a BIOS flash.
