    I've noticed this question has been asked multiple times over the years but I didn't notice a direct answer.
    Will the Asus G60VX (a12 revision I guess) support the Q9000 quad core? The Asus website says the laptop can support it but I am unsure if this is true. I went through about 15 pages of old threads and none stated if this board will or will not work with the chip.

    The label on the bottom is too worn from use for me to read it off.
    All I can give is what CPU ID gives me unless I missed something on the board.

    Edit: Also this is not the Best Buy version. I bought this from Newegg, refurbished albeit, two years ago.
