Can anyone tell me if the CPU I just bought is compatible with my computer? I have a Compaq Presario S6000NX with an Intel Celeron CPU running at 2.7 GHz. I just bought an Intel Pentium4 Processor (2.8GHz)with Hyper-Threading technology. Of course, both of these CPU's have the same socket size. When the Pentium4 was installed, the computer did not power up. I also just upgraded my power supply to 550W. I welcome any questions or information on my dilemma.

Jump to PostThis link shows you motherboard info ,it says 1.7 to 2.8 or higher ,.not sure why yours isn't booting ,Im guessing its because your board probably doesnt support the hyper threading cpu .
