The two major brands of personal computer CPUs are AMD and Intel. A distant second runner up is Via, which makes CPUs for netbooks and other low-power applications. These all manufacture CPUs using the x86 and x86-64 instruction set.
Many processors will not work on a Socket 7 motherboard. Providing a full list of every processor that is notcompatible with a Socket 7 board would be impossible.
No. The Intel 865 chipset doesn't support dual-core processors.
Not necessarily. There have been three different sockets used for Pentium 4 processors (Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA775). They are not interchangeable without special adapters. Even when pin-compatible, motherboard updates may be necessary for the processors to actually work.
No, the Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard is not compatible with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor, as it is designed for Intel processors and uses the LGA 775 socket. The Athlon 64 X2 requires an AM2 or AM2+ socket motherboard. Therefore, you'll need to find a compatible motherboard specifically designed for AMD processors to use the Athlon 64 X2.
It's limited by your motherboard on what CPU it can take. The list of supported processors is most likely listed in the manual.
Slot 1 motherboards were primarily designed for the Pentium II and early Pentium III processors. A Pentium Pro could be used with a special converter known as a "slotket." Later Pentium III processors could be retrofitted to work on Slot 1 boards with a similar slotket.
A Pentium motherboard is not inherently compatible with an Intel i3 processor because compatibility depends on the specific motherboard model and its chipset. Pentium and i3 processors may use different socket types, so it's essential to check the motherboard’s specifications to determine if it supports the i3. If the socket type and chipset are compatible, then it may work; otherwise, you would need a different motherboard for the i3.
Yes, the NF-MCP61 is an AM2+ compatible motherboard, which means it supports AM2 and AM2+ processors. It is part of NVIDIA's nForce 610 chipset series, designed to work with AMD's socket AM2 and AM2+ CPUs. When choosing a CPU, ensure it falls within the compatibility range of this motherboard for optimal performance.
Motherboard is a main board on witch all the computer hardware and processing units work. Processor is a main processing chip witch processes all the data and information. It is located on motherboard. In simple terms the motherboard is the body and the processor or CPU is the head/brain, in terms of size the motherboard is usually about 9" square with lots of components on which are wired, the CPU is around 3cm square with lots of pins that locate in the motherboard,sorry to over simplify but if you did not know the difference i assume you have never seen these separated
processors and DVD burners are separate entities and do not effect compatibility. The DVD burner will work on any processor if the motherboard it is using has the correct connection for it.
A RAM strip with the same specifications may or may not work with INTEL or AMD because different processors have different compatibility requirements. It depends on the specific motherboard and the memory controller on the processor. It's best to check the motherboard's compatibility list or consult the manufacturer for compatibility information.
It depends on model. Some motherboards support two processors with four cores each. Usually two processors systems are used for server applications or as a workstations and do not work well as gaming stations. When usual desktops can have one dual core processor and perform better in gaming than the workstations.
