The E6600 uses LGA775.
The Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Dual-Core Processor fits in an motherboard with a socket type of LGA 775. If you are purchasing a motherboard for this type of CPU, make sure you purchase a CPU that clearly indicates that it is for Intel processors with a socket type of LGA 775.
An LGA 775 socket motherboard (desktop)
No...the Gigabyte 945GCM-S2C motherboard has the Intel LGA 775 processor socket (which only supports the Pentium, Celeron, Core 2 Duo etc.). The Intel Core i7 requires the LGA 1366 processor socket or the LGA 1156 socket, depending on which model you have.
Yes! The intel Core i7-3770k is a Socket 1155 processor and the Cupertino2-H61-uA TX supports the 1155 socket.
Dozens of motherboard models are capable of supporting an Intel Pentium Dual-Core.
The CPU can be upgraded only if your motherboard/chipset and BIOS support it. Socket 478 motherboards cannot support a Dual-Core, as they use a different socket. If you have an LGA775 motherboard, it may work, but chipsets before 945 are not officially supported and may fail to function properly.
They are basically formats for which CPU format will fit into what board. For example, any core 2 duo processor from Intel is probably an LGA 775 and will fit into LGA 775 socket motherboard. Any Core i7 processor will fit into any LGA 1366 socket motherboard. The list goes on.
No.
The socket type that is required for the Intel Core i7 9xx desktop series is the LGA1366 socket.
No. The Intel 865 chipset doesn't support dual-core processors.
Pretty sure this motherboard uses the LGA 1366 socket. This slot is used for most of the i3-i7 line of Intel processors, which are all multi-core processors. Yes it will support multi-core processing!
Yes. The Intel D945GNT motherboard supports dual-core Pentium D processors.
