Should work just fine. It says up to a 2.8 Northwood. It might need the latest bios update to recognize the processor.

Ok. Im thinking of buying it.

You have any adivce on whether i would be off on looking up how to replace it with my other one or sending it in to be done.

In case it doesnt recognize the processor and your not comfortable with updating the bios, afraid of making it a paper weight you could. But the changing of the processor is pretty simple straight forward.
