Computer Purchase I am planning to buy the Intel Q8200 processor 1333MHz FSB so I want to buy a motherboard in the range of 200 - 250$ which supports DDR3 1333MHz.Please guide me to buy a good mother board.

Sounds more like in-correct power supply ?

I understand, and I appreciate your looking deep into both CPU's.

Are we talking about,
1) Intel Core2 Duo E6550, which has a maximum frequency rate, ('Speed'), of 2.33GigaHertz?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_intel_core_2_microprocessors#.22Conroe.22_.2865_nm.2C_1333_MT.2Fs.29

4MegaByte of L2 Cache, 1333MegaHertz Front Side Bus?
(4MB L2 cache / 1333MHz FSB)
Based on the Conroe Core technology, and the 65nanometer architecture? 0.85Volts to 1.50Volts - voltage range?

2) Intel Core2 Quad Q9550, which has a maximum frequency rate of 2.83GHz?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_intel_core_2_microprocessors#.22Yorkfield-6M.22_.2845_nm.29

2 times 3MB of L2 Cache, 1333MegaHertz FSB, Voltage range - 0.85 Volts to 1.3625 Volts?
Based on the Yorkfield-6M Core technology, and the 45NanoMeter architecture?

Don't know.

I just look at what motherboard chipset is used, then if it will support both a Dual Core, and a Quad Core; I look at the voltage range, and core technology/architecture.

So we are talking about a Gateway GT5692?

http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD/Shared/4006272R/4006272Rsp2.shtml

Ha! So we are NOT talking an Intel CPU! (Processor)
Apparently not discussing a Gateway GT5692 Desktop PC, either.

What desktop computer are we talking about Virgil, and what is the motherboard chipset?

You're doing good Ben, except you didn't post what I need to know.

Intel Pentium D what?

I need the model number.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_D_microprocessors

Same for that Xeon,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors#.22Conroe.22_.2865_nm.29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors#.22Wolfdale.22_.2845_nm.29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_microprocessors#.22Yorkfield-6M.22_.2845_nm.29

Since the Intel Pentium D uses an LGA 775 processor socket, I just picked out a few Core examples for Xeon's, that do too.
I didn't link them all.

Also I notice that they start with a 1066MegaHertz Front Side Bus.
(1066MHz FSB)
Plus go up to a 1333MHz FSB.

The Intel Pentium D's listed use an 800MHz FSB.
(Unless you're talking about Extreme Editions. They use 1066MHz)

So do I guess your motherboard has an LGA 775 processor socket, and can support processors with Up To a 1066MHz, or 1333MHz FSB?

Just curious.

When I get the exact model number, I can show you precise Thermal Design Point; for each processor. (TDP)
(On Intel Support)

Then it can be determined if a processor fan for a Pentium D, can be used on that Intel Xeon you have.

Off hand looking at both links I gave, I would say yes.

The TDP range for the Intel Pentium D's, ranges from 90 to 130.
The maximum TDP I saw for an Intel Xeon, was 135.

As for the mini-fan on that Nvidia graphics card, if you feel it isn't enough; then suggest buy a better one.

Motherboard supports Processors with a Front Side Bus (FSB) of either 800Megahertz, or 1066MHz.

1333MHz FSB support is done with OVERCLOCKING.

I reduced the view size to 120 percent. Go to Page 27.
Press DELete key to enter BIOS Setup.

Use Down Arrow key to highlight - Fox Central Control Unit
Press the Enter key

CPU Frequency Setting should be set to 333 (333MHz)
Intel processors are 'Quad Pumped'
333MHz x 4 = Approximately 1333MHz. (1332)

Note the version of the BIOS program also.

If it was me i would be replacing the case as well then you will have no trouble finding a motherboard to suit. Will also be handy for any future work you need to do to computer. I doubt very much your old memory will fit in the new motherboard so why not get your memory upto around at least the 4Gig mark while youre at it. All this really wont cost much and you will have quite a nice computer which looks like new. Cheers from Scott and please vote

Socket LGA 775
Supports Intel Core 2 Duo/Pentium Dual-Core/Celeron Dual-Core/Celeron 400 Series Processor
Supports FSB 800/1066/1333MHz
Support Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
FSB 533MHz is not supported by this motherboard. CPU TDP over 65W is not available. Please refer to CPU support for further information.
hope this helps

No, the one you want will not work simply because it's too powerful for the board and will not be recognized. Here you can find all supported processors
http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ECS/P4M900T-M2(V1.0).html
as you can see the only ones for your mobo are Q6600 and Q6700.

Dell computers are proprietary. All upgrades are from Dell. At one time they offered an upgrade plan. Go to http://support.dell.com and check upgrades for your system.

Hi proenza. you're making good sence! You're D945GCL MB should be able to run 1066 FSB. Not 100% sure you're memory will keep FSB up to 1066.
Here's the trouble though. The Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 will not run on the Intel D945GCL motherboard because it is not supported. Look here at Intel's web site. Supported CPU's.
http://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?Boardname=d945gcl

Intel E6700 spec sheet. http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Intel-Core-2-Duo-E6700-2-67Ghz

This CPU is supported by the D945GCL MB.
http://processormatch.intel.com/CompDB/SearchResult.aspx?Boardname=d945gcl

Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 Processor BX80557E4700 - 2.60GHz.
$149.99

In order to get 1066MHz (CPU can run at), you'll also need the memory support at 800MHz. The D945GCL MB can only run DDR2-667MHz.
Many people buy a CPU to run MB's specs (1333MHz) just to find the same MB does not support DDR2-1066MHz or DDR2-800MHz. Motherboard Mfg's are lagging. DDR3-1333MHz is out there now to support the 1333 MHz CPU FSB.

I hope this has helped you make a decision proenza.

Good Luck!
