Crazy_Nate Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Looks like you should be able to use a dual core celeron with that chipset, but, I don't see Pentium D... http://compare.intel.com/pcc/showchart.asp...p;culture=en-US Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagoskonti Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) i have now pentium 4 hyper threading 2,8 ghz... and i would like to upgrade it to a cpu with 2 cores like this: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=41493...pec-codes=SLGU9 or this: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=40478 the first is better...but i want to be sure if i can put a dual core... so should i look only for dual core celeron processors?

neddamttocs Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 i have now pentium 4 hyper threading 2,8 ghz... and i would like to upgrade it to a cpu with 2 cores like this: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=41493...pec-codes=SLGU9 or this: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=40478 the first is better...but i want to be sure if i can put a dual core... so should i look only for dual core celeron processors? you wouldn't be able to use a new processor in that board as its a socket 478. most processors today are socket 775 or 1366 for Intel or socker AM2+/3 (940) for AMD. best you could get would be a P4 with hyper threading ... all dual core processors are the newer generation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

neddamttocs Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 its socket 775 not 478 <_> lol, oops i saw the 865 chipset and assumed it looks like you can get the pentium d (with newest bios) series for that board but not the new core2duo's if i read the cpu support list right .... oh and your sig can only be 10 lines of text!

vagoskonti Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 so as i saw the 2 best processors i can get for my motherboard are these 2 : http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium_4/In...47PG1122MH.html http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Celeron_D/In...7RE3330CN).html which one you think is better?

9KRacing Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 The 672 without question. And sorry, I just assumed you would logicaly click my link, and select your motherboard which showed you every chip you could use in that mobo. P.S. - you're probably better off saving up for a new rig at this point though. By the time you spend money on that setup you could buy a p45 mobo and a fast core 2 duo and call it a day.

vagoskonti Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) you are right but because i have already make this pc new i want to put and a new processor and i will stop upgrading it...i had 1 gb ram and now i have 2,i had 9250 agp and now i have 3850 agp,i had chieftec 350 w and now i have premier 550w the only thing that remains is processor...i have a 2,8 ghz hyper threading 800 mhz fsb and 1 mb cache...as i saw the prices for the 672 are too high...so i am gonna buy a 670 as i saw the only difference between 670 and 672 is virtuality techology[something like that ]which is for having 2 operating systems at one processor and i dont care about that so i will get 670 which is cheaper and has no difference...thank you very much all...9kracing its not your fault that the link is not working... edit: if you know any good offer for the 670 please pm me or post a reply...i dont care if it is second hand or no...or if you know any good shop that sells it...do the same...because i cant find it nowhere here in greece...
