I am looking to purchase the AsRock VisionX 420D system, but I will need to upgrade the processor to an i7 quad core processor. I am not able to purchase in the US the i7-4702M tested for the unit on the AsRock site, but I am able to purchase a variant, i7-4702MQ Quad Core 2.2GHz FCPGA946. Will this one work?
I would prefer a bit more power such as the i7 i7-4900MQ 2.80 GHz processor (socket PGA-946), which I am also able to purchase, but no information about compatibility exists on the AsRock site. If anyone has had experience with it, please let me know.
If it is important to know, I will be installing Linux Mint 17 as the operating system.
Thanks in advance for your help, It will be most appreciated.
