The processor that I want to upgrade is a Pentium 4 641, running at 3.2ghz with a 800nhz side bus. The processor that I tried to install is a Pentium D, running at the same speeds. The BIOS found it fine but it couldn’t find the boor disk. Everything that I could find says that the chips are compatible, anyone have any suggestions, comments or hints?</P> Wed, 10 Jun 2020 02:25:53 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Processor-upgrade/m-p/637821#M36937 LHenn6 2020-06-10T02:25:53Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Mobile-and-Desktop-Processors/Processor-upgrade/m-p/637822#M36938 <P>And, with all of that information, you still have to contact the motherboard manufacturer and ask them what processors are supported by their bios.
