Gateway FX530 motherboard

[flaxor]

I'd like to buy "Gateway® FX530XM"

Please refer to the following URL.
Gateway Computers: Home & Home Office - Gateway® FX530

Now, I am going to choose E6420 or E6600 as the CPU. But, around coming August after price cutting of Intel's CPU, I want to upgrade the CPU to the quad-core CPU, Q6600 or QX6700.

When I try to upgrade the CPU, are there any problems regarding the motherboard/socket?

That is, whether or not I customize, are all FX530 models (from FX530B through FX530XT/ from E4400 through QX6700) equipped with the same motherboard?

From what I can find the motherboard is "4006151R - Intel (Big Arm) 975X Viiv Motherboard", and can do a quad.

Thank you for helping

No problem. That's why they pay me the big bucks. Now, if they would only give me the check...
