    It is unlikely that a intel processor will fit your motherboard.You will have to stick with amd ones.Make sure that the new one uses the same socket. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20X2%20QL-60%20-%20AMQL60DAM22GG.html

    Yes, the Intels won't fit your socket.

    The ZM-82 does but it is using a different multiplier and voltage.

    I'd be saying that this simply is not worth the hassle.

    Thanks. I found this article successfully upgrading to the ZM-82 on the identical model. I can get one for about 30 euro, so I think I'll give it a try. I need to open it up again to improve the GPU cooling anyway.
