What would happen if I put a more powerful processor in my existing motherboard?
I currently have a Compaq Presario SR1620NX. It has a 2.2 GHz processor. I also have a Gateway 838GM that has a 3.2 GHz processor but a faulty hard drive. What would happen if I were to switch the processors. Would the Compaq still function and operate properly? I am simply asking because in the past I have tried to put together computers and the components have not worked up to their potential due to compatibility issues. Would there be such issues here?

It would be a major compatibility issue because the Compaq uses an AMD cpu and the Gateway uses an Intel cpu. Won't work.

If motherboard BIOS is previous to intro of middle 2 Duo in early 2006, it won't help/comprehend Core2 Duo. A BIOS replace ought to help. if your motherboard's chipset is Intel 915 sequence, it won't be able to help Core2 Duo.

I don't know, but you need to check for compatiblity first, do a search for your board support.
If you put something high on something low.. the high will become low. but it depends on how much high..
