- I'm not sure about this one... a 948 to me rings a bell from couple
of years old series of CPU's that were 920, 922, 932, 948 and 958,
where the 958 was the highest performing machine with about 30% more
horsepower than a 948.
 
Those two 9x8 CPU's are not to be confused with the current 9x8-line,
which has 918, 928, 968 and 978 CPU's.  I'm not sure but I think if
your CPU is a 948 (from the older series, two generations ago -- the
product line before 9x7(nova) CPU's)...  I think the only CPU faster
than 948 that would work would be the 958 (not sure if you can get
these boards anymore -- most likely not from HP unless there are
some re-marketed ones...).
