Would a Core 2 Duo processor fit this motherborad ?
You’ll get just as many conflicting answers to this question, I’m afraid. Thanks for the link, however. That also shows that your motherboard uses the older AGP video card interface rather than the current PCI Express version. For a cpu to work on a particular motherboard, the following must be true: The motherboard must have the right socket (True) The chipset must support the processor (False – the Via P4M800 chipset badly predates the invention of Core 2 Duos) Your power supply motherboard must provide enough voltage and current (probably true in this case) The BIOS must recognize the new processor (False in this case). When you can find a cpu compatability list like this FoxConn has, don’t stray off of it. No Core 2 Duos are listed for this motherboard, so they won’t work. EDIT- Intel has released a number of dual core processors. In order, they are: Pentium D Pentium Extreme Edition Core 2 Duo Pentium Dual Core (Exxxx series) Celeron Dual Core (Exxxx series) Core i3/i5 Each genera
