How do you tell if your latest motherboard has an Intel processor?

If you are asking because some software you wish to install says it requires an Intel processor then that simply means that you need a modern X86 compatible processor which could be Intel or AMD due to a cross licensing agreement on the technology between the two companies. The easiest way to see basic information about your system processor in the Microsoft Windows operating system is to right click on My Computer, left click on Properties, and then check the "Computer Information" section on the General tab of the System Properties window that was launched. From here you can usually the CPU manufacturer, model number, default frequency, and any special features. You can also check the POST screen on your comptuer for basic CPU information. The POST screen is the first image to be displayed on your monitor when you turn on your comptuer. If you only see a generic logo, try pressing the Tab key on your keyboard to view the extended information. Read quickly because this information is generally only displayed for a few moments. For extended information on your CPU and other system components you can download a 3rd party tool such as CPU-Z produced by CPUID which can be downloaded here: http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz_145.zip

What motherboard should you choose with this processor?
Depends on what processor you're using. Go to the manufacturer's site and find the product, it should tell you the socket that the processor requires. Any motherboard with that socket will be compatible
How can you tell if a processor is removable from a motherboard?
This all depends on the motherboard and the processor type. Rule of thumb...If there is a release of some sort, a lever, a bush tab etc it is removable.
How do you tell which CPU fits what motherboard?
I am going to assume you're being technical and using the term CPU meaning the processor specifically. Usually when you buy a motherboard located somewhere in the specifications it will tell you what "socket" the motherboard supports. Just like how only US electrical plugs will fit into US electrical outlets, it is the same for motherboards. For example, the Asus Intel P965 Motherboard states it supports socket 775 processors. Usually the motherboard will have the processor it supports in the title name, this one being Asus Intel. So by buying that motherboard you would go and buy a processor, that's made by Intel, with a socket 775 fit. Unfortunately technology has its limitations, so if you buy a motherboard and your socket becomes outdated, you will probably have to buy a new motherboard to accommodate the new sockets if you ever want to upgrade the processor. On the plus side, motherboards aren't all that expensive. However, processors ARE expensive, especially if you plan to go over 2 Gigahertz in speed. The Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor E6800 2.93 GHz processor costs $1,049.99, according to Best Buy. So, make sure you plan your computer investments wisely.
Can anyone tell me Motherboards compatible with a 845G processor?
"845G" is a chipset, not a processor. The chipset is actually a part of the motherboard, and should be advertised in it's specs.
How can you tell if your motherboard chipset supports ultra dma mode?
1. * Q06: How can I tell if my motherboard supports Ultra DMA? A06: Pentium motherboards that have the Intel TX Chipset, Pentium II motherboards starting with the Intel LX, BX and subsequent Intel Chipsets have UDMA capability. The chipset is displayed on system startup, which is called CMOS Setup. If unsure, consult system or motherboard documentation or manufacturer for chipset and UDMA performance verification.
How could you tell the type of the motherboard by just looking at it P4 or p2?
If you spot the processor, it should be labeled right on there with a P4 or a PII just check the processor type and this could tell you the difference
Is an Intel Celeron processor a dual core processor?
There are Celeron dual core processors today. However, just because you have Celeron processor, it does not mean your Celeron processor is a dual core processor. The easiest way to tell is to look at the Intel sticker on your computer. If it says "Dual Core," then it is dual core. If it does NOT say "Dual Core," then it is not dual core.
What was the Intel processor introduced in 1970 called?
get a life go out and tell peeps ur sick from kissing u
Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 Processor MW2?
That processor may just handle it but it also depends on what graphics card you have in your computer. It will tell you whether it will play well on your computer.
What unit of frequency is use to measure processor speed?
The measurement of processor core frequency is defined in the name of Hertz, which is for cycles per second (this is the frequency you refer to.) This is an electromagnetic waveform frequency. One high and low of the waveform would be equal to one Hertz measurement cycle.
You have Intel pentium4 CPU 3.00ghz you want to buy nvidia geforce Asus 6600le 256 mb pci-slot graffic card you wondered can you use it on an Intel motherboard please tell you?
if you have a open pci slot yes
Can you replace a Intel atom precesser with a Intel atom dual core?
If it shares the same slot-type and the motherboard supports it, yes. In some cases, a motherboard will support a processor with a higher number of cores than was originally intended thanks to BIOS updates. For instance, Asus M2N motherboards were originally released around the time that dual-core Athlons (Athlon X2) were gaining popularity. They supported single and multi-core processors of the AM2/AM2+ (slot) type by design. With the latest BIOS updates, they officially support AMD Phenom II X4 processors of the AM3 type up to the Phenom X4 945, and many users have had success installing 955s in these boards too. If you are considering installing a dual-core processor in place of the existing single-core processor, it would be best to check the compatibility of your board with such processors before going further.
