Model A1311 / Late 2009 / 3.06 or 3.33 GHz Core 2 Duo processor

Upgrade from Dual-Core to Quad-Core

May have been asked before but, is it possible to get something such as an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400S or Q9400S to work inside a 21.5" Late 2009 iMac. The wattage seems to be the same although the FSB MHz is slightly different (1066mhz vs 1333mhz), would be cool if this is possible.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?
