last month I decided to get a used HP dc7600c for 50€ with a P4-630, 1GB RAM and 80GB HDD with Ubuntu installed for upgrading this old PC for MWO ( maybe you can get one yourself even cheaper, as a lot of this business PC, or newer models from the same manufacturer, had been sold and substituted with newer models until now ! )
Does anyone know if a Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9550S is compatible to the MainBoard of my HP dc7600c, and what are the differences between a PLGA775 socket and a LGA775 socket ?
I asume that I need a CUSTOM or HACKED BIOS for upgrading to any socket 775 CPU better than the Pentium D 950, or for OVERCLOCKING this mainboard ... can anyone tell me where I might find information for such a hack ?
MfG, MEX
PS: some valuable information I have gathered until now:

4,052 for the Quad is looking very good compaired to less than 800 for a Pentium D, or the 371 of my currently used P4-630 !
