    Is there any way to check if the BIOS on the nc8000 will accept a Pentium M 765 processor upgrade (currently has a Pentium M 735)?

    I tried booting into the BIOS but cannot find any sort of name/designation for the BIOS - I'm guessing it's HP specific and HP support is giving me the usual corporate runaround.

    Has anyone here tried anything like this before?

    For the NC8000 HP had a PM 755 configuration but as the PM 765 is a more recent development I don't know if the BIOS will be able to recognize it.

    Any advice would be MUCH appreciated!

    you'd better ask this question in the hardware upgrade forum.

    I think I'm going to give it a shot within the next week - got a line on a reasonable 765 and have the maintenance guide for my nc8000's instructions on how to swap out the processor HOWEVER if there is anyone out there who has experience doing this I would LOVE to hear from you before I dive in...

    Thanks!
