Hey, I currently have a Intel Pentium 4 with a FBS of 800, and I was wanting to upgrade that to a core 2 duo. But I wasn't sure if I had to match the FSB or if I could go higher.
Thanks,
AMcB

Hello AMcB, welcome to PCHF! Could you please tell me the make/ model of your motherboard? It is a compatability with the Motherboard, not the processor. If you do not know, please download Everest from my signature, and look under motherboard. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I have Everest and I have a Dell Dimension 3100 I'm not even sure if it is compatalie with a core 2 duo, how would I find that out?

Hold on, I will take a look. I dont think it is though. back in a flash

Unfortunately, no it does not. However, you can upgrade how much memory it has, which would make a real difference in how fast it is. You could also get a better graphics card if you want to game.

Yeah I've already done both, would I be able to buy a new motherboard for it? And then get a better CPU? Thasnks for all your help.
