    Is anyone aware if the A900 series (A975EM) can support A core 2 duo?

    Mainboard: Hewlett-Packard 30ED

    It's a Compaq A975EM which I was given free as a replacement for my, amazing, Asus notebook.

    Run v1.41, and upload a screenshot of the CPU and Mainboard Page.

    Do you have sufficient privileges to run CPU-Z (Admin ?)

    Thanks, Ive searched the system again today and rather than calling through it's far easier asking here.

    It's socket P so I am assuming that this laptop can support a Core 2 Duo?
