are it is possible the new intel processor can fail to work?

sure, not all parts are necessarly bench tested before packaging. you could have had a pin that did not fully insert or the insertion of the actual chip into its metal clad package did not fully seat itself.  It could have been dropped, crushed, or heated to hot in a truck.  depending on where you bought it from, you could even of been sold a fake chip.

try some search about your current processor type and it's compatibility with the socket on motherboard, so you'll find the type of the socket that you are using now.

Right click on my computer and click properties to get the processor type and model. Then go online and find out from the vendor site(intel or amd). and moreover u need to find out if the new processsor takes same voltage more or less and other compatibilities.

there is a new Intel CPU in the pipeline, named Conroe. the only thing i read is a short test report of a comparison, Conroe vs. an overclocked (2.8GHz) Athlon 64 FX-60, whereby amazingly the Conroe beat in all tests AMDs flagship.\n\ntest report\nhttp://techreport.com/etc/2006q1/conroe/index.x?pg=1

It all depends on the motherboard. Do you know what model number the motherboard is? How about contacting me? A lot easier to explain.\n\nNot true, Man. Some components like the processor and video card he mentions, will have to start with motherboard.

possible problems\n\n1. motherboard not compatible with processor\n2. power problem\n3. is the screen on?\n4. you dont have an operating system installed. did your computer come with something like windows?

It will work on any Intel or Amd as long as it is a sse2 or sse3 instruction cabable. Also no apple intel restore disk for like iMac will work on your pc you must find the os on the web. I will not discuss where.

depends on the platform you are on. You might use http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/32035.pdf  as a first pointer what might be sensible to try, when on an AMD platform.

Consider buying a new CPU -- not a new writer.

If you have got tht very recently and still can return it. Do it now and go for Intel 965 or Dual Core Processor.\nAtleast your pc will not be outdated for couple of years. You'll get satisfactory results from them 2.

maybe its time to get a new computer or upgrade the pentium 4 form 1.5GHZ or 2.5GHZ or higher

There reallyisn't any known disadvantages yet.  Do you know anyone that has one.  But honestly, I think that intel makes good chips.  At least in a mac they will be able to run better without crashing as much.  \nBut you always take a risk when you are the first person to buy something.

The heating problems died with Pentuim Duo architecture. Intel Core2 Duo's architechture is different and runs cooler as compared to its predecessors.

Mainboard failure would be, failure of the mainboard.  Wether by a transitor overheating, a NIC chip failing, or any other aspect of the mainboard deceiding not to work.  Why, are you having problems with your mainboard?

No, You can not connect it close enough to the CPU to be recognized as a memory replacement.

yes buy a faster processor just make sure you get one of the same brand thats in there and that the motherboard will support it by going to the manufacturer of the motherboards website and looking at the specs or reading the book that came with it
