I want to upgrade my p7450 processor and was wondering if it would be compatable with the p8700. To me it looks like they would be compatable, but I was wondering if anyone else could give me some advise before I went and bought one.

Please keep in mind that the compatibility between the processor and the computer system is determined by the motherboard itself, not by the processor manufacturer, so you need to contact the motherboard manufacturer for them to provide you a list of fully supported processors for your system.

The fact that both processors might be based on same socket do not necessarily make them compatible. That is the reason that you need to contact the

motherboard manufacturer.
