    Hi all. I was looking for the answer but could not get any. Has anyone done it? I know they are compatible processors but still think there might be some barrier through BIOS.
    Thanks

    somewhere in the bios info from enhancements
    Adds option in F10 Setup to enable or disable the modem. NOTE: Restore F10 Setup to the default setting after upgrading the system BIOS. - Adds support for new Intel Processors. - Adds a BIOS boot block update that eliminates a potential security vulnerability. NOTE: The previous version of the system BIOS cannot be reinstalled after system BIOS version F.0F has been installed.
