Is this possible? On other forums, a user who had a 2008 iMac 24" with 3.06 GHz CPU with Nvidia Geforce 8800GS (same one I have) tried a QX9300 and it would not boot. My model number is an A1225 and the logic board is an 820-2301-A.

If not, what would be the "maxed out" CPU? Could the QX9300 CPU work with a firmware upgrade?

There really is limited information from what I can find. Either that means it you can't use a faster CPU or no one has tried it or felt it was worth it to try.
