    curious if i can put a quad core in my k70IO. i currently have the t6500 and was looking at getting either the q9000 or q9100. i was refered here to see if anyone here would know if the bios will support the quad core..... so far everything i have found will allow any dual core

    Check the socket first. If I recall correctly, the T-series Core2's are a 478M socket, and the Q9000 series are all the latest Socket-P. (I forget the socket count, but it's for the Penryn chips Core2 8000 and higher)
