    is the new cpu compatible with the board as i had that problem with my previous 478 board when trying to install a celeron d cpu on a board that can't take it because of the bios.

    goto the mobo website and find out if your mobo is compatible with the new cpu.

    it might say that it is with a perticular bios revision, which will mean you need to update your bios.
