Can I replace a Pentium D with a Core 2 Duo?

the socket 775 is the same, but the important part of the mobo is the chipset. compatible chipsets with the Core 2 Duo are the Intel 945P(G), 946GZ, 955, 965 and 975.\nif your mobo has one of these chipsets you can upgrade. BUT, keep in mind, you wouldn't notice a big difference (if it's only to impose your friends - forget it). you simply haven't the mobo with the right chipset 965, the optimum for the Core 2.\nlast but not least, don't get a Core 2 Quad. it's much much much too expensive for what you get. this CPU is hardly faster than a Core 2 Duo X6800 and it would be a waste of your money.\n\nin case you don't know what chipset your mobo has, you can run the program CPU-Z (no installation needed). it's free available on\nhttp://www.cpuid.com

You will probably need to purchase an extra IDE controller.  You can find them cheap online at sites like TigerDirect or NewEgg.\n\nMake sure to get one with it's own BIOS.  It will cost a little more than the non-BIOS ones, but will save you $$ versus buying a new PC.

ill make it uber simple for you! \n\nthink of the CPU as a train station \n\nthe Pentium 4 has 1 train track coming in and two coming out\n\nso it can only service one train at a time \n\nthe Pentium 4 HT's have two rails coming in and two coming out  so now they can service two trains but it still can only use the same amount of people as the regular Pentiums to get the train loaded or unloaded\n\nnow the Pentium 4 DC's have two tracks coming in and two tracks coming out with two work crews to service each train. \n\n\nnow in geek talk\n\nthe Pentium 4 ht benefits over the regular Pentium cpus by using a advanced l2 cache and supplements that with another l3 caches that service a 2nd data pipe line, while that is effective the Pentium 4 dual cores have two central processors compared to the older single core processors while this is somewhat of a advantage our current north bridges are not effective to supply each core with enough data to process at the moment. so you may be better getting a single core CPU rather then a dual core and waiting on a dual NB or joint NB motherboard\n\n\nBwhahahaha\n\nlmao hope this helped

Intel Core 2 Duo.\n\nRead the system info. Its clear.

hands down, i'd get the duo core\nunless ur a gamer then u need the second one with the graphics card

if you use for all these purposes, i surely assist you to go ahead with intel pentium 4, because the others which you have mentioned are for only packages like c and others even you can also purchase intel core duo it is also a better option so all the best.

It depends on wat kind of applications u work on. Dual core is good if u want 2 use multiple applications at da same time. It wont giv u any more advantages,it takes more power & more money from ur pocket.I say u go with Pentium 4 3.2GHz, coz its more faster & less power using dan dual core.If u want u can also buy AMD FX 57. Its very good & IC Chip(The best comp magazine) rated it da best proccessor. U can buy dat if u want. But if u still want intel, u buy P4 3.2 GHz

Sadly, the Pentium D's are pretty much 2 scaled-back Pentium 4 Northwoods slapped onto a single chipset. It's not a new architecture. They pretty much use the same decoding instructions.

right click on my computer and you ll see type of your processor.if it s written there "P4 D" then it s dual

No, you can not say this. It depends on the programming of the application. In several benchmark tests a higher clocked single core CPU is still faster than a dual core CPU.\nI found a good article where the two processors Intel Pentium D 820 (dual core) and Pentium 4 670 (single core HT) are put in opposition.\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2005q2/pentiumd-820/index.x?pg=1

athlon 64 is a 64-bit processor with only one core and pentium d is also an 64-bit processor but with two cores on one die. Simple enough...

THE INTEL DUO CORE IS MUCH MORE BETTER THAN INTEL PENTUM M \n\nIT RUNS AT 667MHZ  FSB AND M RUNS AT MAX 400MHZ

honestly, junk it \n\nmuch cheaper than searching 4 old processors not knowing if they work at all\nget a new p4 nope, get a pentium dual core ... just say yes ... lottsa ideas then

You can, but you are limiting the performance.  Make sure they are both the same type and they work in the same frequency(PC2700, PC3200 etc)\n\nBattery Wizard

Pentium D incorporates dual-core processing technology that is in fact an improvement to hyperthreading (HT). In this context , Pentium D is better.

Being a laptop the answer is "no". In general laptop processors are not upgradable. If they are it's usually cost prohibitive.

I think I understand what you are saying a little better than the other people.  You are looking at the 1.86Ghz speed and comparing that to Pentiums in the 3GHz range and saying, well wouldn't the Pentiums be faster.  The answer is no, because speed is no longer the only important factor.  The new Core 2 Duos are based on a much better architecture, which allows them to do a lot more work than the old Pentiums, even at a lower speed.\n\nKeep in mind, this is not because it is dual core.  The Pentium Ds were dual core, and some had clock speed of 3.4Ghz and stuff like that, but the Core 2 Duo would still be faster because of its better architecture.  Also, don't listen to the people who said to just double the speed because it is dual core, that is incorrect, it just doesn't work that way.
