    I'm new to this forum.
    Hello to everyone. Thanks for all the useful information that you guys post here.

    Question.

    I want to upgrade the CPU in a HP 8710w, currently it has an Intel T7300.
    Which one is the fastest compatible CPU for this?
    Also I don't want to have any over heating issues.

    Is this one compatible
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819111006

    Any other option?

    Many Thanks

    Martin

    The fastest compatible chip is the T7800 with a 2.6 GHz clock. Processor upgrades are almost never worth the investment. Buy more RAM and a faster HDD first.

    The T9600 or T9800 are not compatible with the 8710w? :(
