Good day!
There is an old HP Compaq dx6100 Microtower (DX6100MT). Chipset Intel 915G.
Сhipset specification supports processors up to Intel Pentium 4 670.

BIOS for dx6100
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/Tec...sp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=402168&swItem=ir-63388-1&prodNameId=402170&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0
According to datasheet for dx6100, it supports a max. Intel Pentium 4 Processor 540 with HT Technology (3.2-GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quick...8_div.HTML
But in HP Community members say that DX6100 supports at least a Pentium 640 processor
http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PC...rue#M53606
The dx6100 BIOS is suitable for HP Compaq dc7100 Convertible Minitower (DC7100CMT).

According to datasheet for dc7100, it supports the Intel Pentium 4 670 Processor (3.8-GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quick...8_div.HTML
DX6100 and DC7100 use the same chipset - 915G.
Thus, the restriction of installation the Pentium 4 670 in dx6100 embedded in BIOS software.
Will anyone modify BIOS and remove this restriction?
I will be glad to answer to anyone.
I apologize for my English.
Thanks!
P.S.: Possibly this restriction is set not in BIOS, but in Processor Microcode Update
