How can I find out if my motherboard can support dual core?

Expand Post »
I think I have an intel desktop motherboard D101GGC. It came with an emachines w3502 desktop computer. Does this motherboard support dual core processors? Is LGA775 and 800 or 533mgz FSB all I need to know to see if the motherboard supports the processor? I'm not good with computers so I don't know what these terms mean.

Re: How can I find out if my motherboard can support dual core?

LGA775 is the socket type, and tells you the broad family of CPUs you can use.

Each motherboard is set up to use a certain group of CPUs. When they want to add extra ones to the list, they release a new BIOS version. This list of supported CPUs is for your motherboard, and a Pentium D is a dual core.

Just be aware of the BIOS versions and the motherboard revisions. This link here, under the 'identify your product' bit, shows you how to find what BIOS version you have and what board revision (AA) you have.
