A 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor typically uses the LGA 775 socket, also known as Socket T. This socket supports various Core 2 Duo models and is compatible with motherboards that have the appropriate chipset for this processor family.
No. Core 2 is on a different socket type. The i3 will not fit into the core 2 socket, and vice versa.
Socket 775 (also known as LGA 775 or Socket T) is a socket for certain versions of the Intel Pentium 4, Celeron, Pentium D, Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad. Unlike a traditional "socket", Socket 775 does not have any pinholes. instead, the pins are on the motherboard and reach up to contact the flat surface of the processor. Socket 775 was superseded by LGA 1156, but is still in common usage by most mainstream Core 2 Duo systems (as of January, 2010).
The E6600 uses LGA775.
No, a Core 2 Duo processor is not compatible with a Dell OptiPlex GX260 motherboard. The GX260 uses the Intel Pentium 4 or Intel Xeon processors, which are based on the older socket 478 architecture. Core 2 Duo processors require a different socket type (LGA 775) and chipset that the GX260 does not support.
Yes, both fit in the PGA 478 socket. SeanHolshouser
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.
Core 2 duo is dual core. And before that was core duo which was dual core too...
core 2 duo will be better.

The Intel Core Duo.
The socket type for the I31GM4 motherboard is LGA 775, which supports Intel Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual-Core, Pentium D, Pentium 4, and Celeron processors.
