I was just checking to confirm since I'm upgrading an old machine and planning to turn it into a gaming PC.
From a hardware standpoint, it seems feasible because both the motherboard and CPU use the LGA775 socket. It would be wise to verify the BIOS settings on the motherboard to confirm compatibility with the CPU.
on second look, unfortunately this is a HP motherboard, not a normal Asus off the shelf board like I assumed. You will have to go with HP official specs. I have found them here https://support.hp.com/cn-zh/document/c01299848 though in my oppinion, you should still be able to use the other cpu, but there is a chance it could not work, so unless you already have it or can get it for free you may want to go with the e4400.
