LGA 775 Core 2 QUAD Compatibility...

[K1LLER HORNET]

I've got a work mate whose pc has an aging LGA 775 Pentium chip.
I've got the system with me and the motherboard is: PC Chips P23G v3.0.
Now will this motherboard support a Core 2 Quad Q8400?
I can't find any information on quad core support. Not sure if it's not supported at all or the board was EOL before quads hit the market and therefore the product webpage wasn't updated.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

is the below link the correct board?

going from there it only goes up to a core 2 duo

Yep that's it.
Guess it'll have to be a C2D.
Maybe an E8400?

doesn't state which ones so I would say a E8400 should be fine

I'd of just put specs in as you will be warned from a mod for a link to a competitor and risk being banned.. link posted below for you to copy in to your post so you can delete your link.

I'd replace the board and chip as its more hassle or even trawling a scumtree for a full quad system, they can be had for next to nowt

I agree change the link.
Although I think they are a US only retailer so meh.

Ordered a E6600 for a tenner delivered. That's one of the best chip on the compatability list so there shouldn't be any issues.
While an E8400 would have been good, the potential headache if it doesn't work makes it not worth the risk.
