Do BOTH computers have to be pentium? Or just the old one?

It does not matter what type of processors the computer have. This transfer cable works with the hard drives of all my different versions of the windows operating systems.

Ours features a 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo, the technical details provided by amazon indicates a Pentium 4/D. E8500 Will NOT work in this system.

Because this one has hardware compression whereas the other one relies on CPU compression. Check the requirements: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB RAM

The h81m chipset supports this processor. Both are LGA 1150 so should work fine.

You need to know what socket (ie:11500 the mother board will accept. Then match it to the processor.

Reading the specs helps. This system has an Intel Pentium G2020 Processor not an i5 or any other i.

Yes these two CPUs are nearly identical. You should have no problem switching them out.

You can, but this board does not have onboard graphics, so you will have to make sure that your processor has integrated graphics

thats what I'm using for one thing upset me though its not a pentium 4 3.2ghz its a duo core 2.3 still works ok for gaming for now anyway hope this helps

I would check HP and see if they have a list of compatible cpu if its on there list then ya hp dell boards have real narrow cpu support on there main boards

My desktop currently has a Pentium G3420 on an ASUS H81M-Plus motherboard. The cpu is a Haswell chip and the computer was assembled in June 2014 running Wondows 8.1. It has worked flawlessly for me over the past year. As long as the socket of the motherboard is LGA 1150 the cpu should function fine.

It totally depends on your motherboard. You need to find out if your motherboard has the right chipset to accept this processor.

No this PC is old only if it was an intel it would but that's only on the new macs.

no problems at all. most of the newer cpu's and gpu's don't require as much power as some of the older stuff, so you'll have plenty of overhead.

The p.s. has the ATX connector on it. If your "old" computer is ATX (20-pin connector, 2x10), then you're OK. If not, I think you can purchase a wiring adapter to make it work.

I installed mine in a 4 year old Dell Studio 550, no bios upgrade was necessary. You may want to check the manufacture's web site and see if you have the latest bios update for your machine. Even if you do not have the latest update it may not matter as the bios update may not address any cpu issues.

running a locked cpu I believe that is correct. That is the situation I am in. If I put an unlocked pentium g3258 I think the ram would run at 1600 no problem. I also had to flash the board with an old haswell chip to support newer haswell refresh chips.
