Hi

would a core 2 duo like the e2180 work in a motherboard that currently has a pentium D in it. they both have the same FSB. just wondering if i can get a little more performance with out spending more than 50 odd quid

Your motherboard's website will most likely have a list of supported CPUs for your mobo model.

Download CPU-Z to find out the Mobo specs. Then go to your makers site to find out if its compatible.
