I have a used Core 2 Duo E7300, 2.66 GHz, can be overclocked if your motherboard allows it too.$100, works great and if it does not work at all then you get a full refund.
Out of stock :(
No I mean I have one right here on my desk that was a part of my previous build.
What's your GPU?Also, if you spent $25 more you could get a Core2Duo, much much better architecture.You'd get way better performance.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115056
The Pentium socket 775 BIOS does not support core2duo.Miga told me this. He knows from experience.
Lol'd.Socket 775 supports socket 775 processors. If a BIOS doesn't support a particular CPU (possibly just a once off for you), 99% of manufacturers will release a BIOS flash that fixes that.
So my Pentium D computer could support a core 2 quad?How would I do a bios flash or whatever
If you do infact have a Socket 775 motherboard, yes.What model is your Motherboard/Computer?Also, it would be a quite expensive way of doing it though, a C2Q is around $240 for the lowest option with that socket. You'd possibly be better off getting a new motherboard and a new CPU as well. Phenom IIs are cheap.
I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work. Alot of name brand manufacturers limit the bios. Especially if you consider that manufacturers don't intend for people to upgrade the processor It seems rather consistent that you pull claims out of yonr ass. Perhaps you should do some resarch before you assume things.
That's why I asked if he had a prebuilt before I confirmed it.He hasn't responded.
For starters, did you figure out what socket the mother board has?Nvm, didnt click on link: Socket 775edit: You wont be able to have a quad core with a budget of $100 but the 2 duos look good. The Tiger Direct one is slightly better then the Newegg one. Also, heres one you might want to consider:Pentium CPUWhats the GPU? and you need a new power source soon.
