I am not a hard-core techie, but can get a new quad core for free and hoping I can drop it into my current ~6 month old system (HP Pavilion a6177c) without a lot of difficulty. HP does not officially support the 45nm parts on this board, but the FSB speed is matched... is there anything else that I need to worry about? Any thoughts on whether it will (or will not) work?
HP tech support said that it will probably work but no guarantees. I'm looking for some second opinions here.
Here are the specs for the motherboard:

Here is the current and proposed CPU comparison:
