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

its socket 775 not 478 <_>

 

lol, oops i saw the 865 chipset and assumed :blush:

 

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!

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

 

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.

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 :P]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...
