I have a Lenovo Thinkcentre M58 small form factor PC. It currently has only a Core 2 Duo E8400. I've seen some, however, that have Core 2 Quads. The BIOS is very strict, so I don't know what specific Core 2 Quad I can put in it. Does anyone else know?
What type of Core 2 Quad can I put in a Lenovo Thinkcentre M58 SFF PC?

Should be able to use any Intel socket 775 CPU
These CPUs are obsolete though, you would need to buy them online.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 is shown on some units sold factory installed and Q6600
Some M58p models with graphics card sold with M58p - SFF - Core 2 Quad Q9550, Core 2 Quad Q9400
Bios should be updated to the latest level. There were USFF, SFF, and Towers and possibly a Desktop model.
If you provided the specific model number it might help.
M58p on ebay shows with a Q9650 installed
