I have an older desktop, with an Intel D845HV motherboard running a 2.4GHz Intel Celeron CPU, with 1.5Gb SDRAM.
Can I upgrade the CPU to a Pentium 4 - 2.8 or 3.0GHz 520 series CPU?
If not, what faster spec/type of CPU can I safely upgrade this motherboard to?
Thanks for the help folks.
In short, yes you can upgrade to a P4 cpu but from the compatibility chart at Intel support, it looks like the upper limit for this older board is the P4 2.6GHz.
Note: Even at that, running the P4 2.6 would require a BIOS upgrade to P12 or greater.
Luckily, the following link has the information you seek: (for BIOS info, click the "BIOS Version" link in the upper right corner of the compatibility table provided)

I hope this info is helpful!
