I'd check whether the motherboard can accept a higher cpu and if it can I'd look out for a used one to fit. Having said that, I wouldn't necessarily give up straight away.
I am not running 9.2 (I have 9.1) but I presume that the following will still apply :-) Early in the install process you get a chance to hit F1 for more options. If you do that you will see a brief explanation of the options. Try whatever looks likely, and tell us what happens.
