CPU and motherboard compatibility Closed

Question

Hi,
I was wondering if I can change my actual intel p d 930 to the newer intel core 2 duo e8400 lga 775 3ghz 6mb cache memory dual core processor without having to change my motherboard. I have read that they are duo support but just wanted to be sure of that?

Hey there,
You sure can as long as it supports duo processors and the socket is of the same type as your actual processor.

Hello,

That is impossible. The sockets are different.

P-D 930 --> Socket T
Core2 Duo E8400 --> Socket 775
