Hi All, I have a HP ML110 G4 which I use as workstation, it came with a Pentium D 2.8GHZ CPU and I would like to upgrade the cpu so I can use Hyper-V. I did some search and notice that from HP docs, it says: Supported CPU: (source 1) Processor: Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 3000 sequence; Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D processors 800 or 900 sequence; Single-Core Intel® Celeron® D processors source 2: Supported CPU's in the ML110 G4 Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D Processor 945 (3.4 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)* Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D Processor 935 (3.2 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)* Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D processor 925 (3.0 GHz, 800MHz, FSB) Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D processor 915 (2.8 GHz, 800MHz FSB) Dual-Core Intel® Pentium® D processor 820 (2.8 GHz, 800MHz FSB)* Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 3050 (2.13 GHz, 1066MHz FSB)**HT Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 3040 (1.86 GHz, 1066MHz FSB) Single-Core Intel® Celeron® D processor 352 (3.20 GHz, 533MHz FSB)* So it looks like the xeon 3040 or 3050 could be the only choice. I also found out that the chipsets used in the motherboard are as following: see http://www.hardware.info/en-US/productdb/bGRkaJiTmJrK/viewproduct/HP_ProLiant_ML110_G4/ North bridge Intel 3000 South bridge Intel ICH7R further digging into this reveal that similar motherboards that use the same chipsets are capable of supporting xeon 3200 quad-core CPUs! the following two are the examples: Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Products | Motherboards | Xeon 3000 Boards | PDSML-LN2+ Intel Entry Server Board S3000AH - motherboard - ATX - Intel 3000 specs I am not a hardware guru thus I would like to ask for help here. Can anyone possiblly tell me that whether the motherboards made of same chipsets will support same CPUs? In my case, will a xeon quad-core X3220 fit into the HP ML110 G4 machine? Thanks in advance and I do appreciate any help.
