    I have (HP) M2N68-LA motherboard and I wanna buy new processor.
    But I wanna know if here is better processor what works on it. I have right now AMD Phentom(tm) 8450 Triple-Core Processor 2100Mhz. And It would be nice If I don't have to buy new motherboard to PC.
    So.. If someone knows what kind processors works on it, tell.

    You do have to buy a new motherboard. That board will only support older, very low performance original Phenom CPUs, and does not have the power regulators to support quad cores, or it will melt.
    As it's an HP system, you will also need a new case and power supply in addition to the motherboard and CPU, since most HP parts are non-standard.
