The motherboard for the dc7600 has an Intel LGA775 processor socket. However, not all LGA775 processors are compatible with the motherboard. For the small form factor, the following CPUs are supported: Intel Celeron D Processors:
Intel Celeron D 331 Processor (2.66-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Celeron D 336 Processor (2.80-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Celeron D 346 Processor (3.06-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB)
Intel Pentium 4 Processors with HT Technology:
Intel Pentium 4 521 Processor (2.8-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB) , Intel Pentium 4 524 Processor (3.06-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Pentium 4 541 Processor (3.2-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 620 Processor (2.8-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 630 Processor (3.0-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 631 Processor (3.0-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 640 Processor (3.2-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 641 Processor (3.2-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 650 Processor (3.4-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 651 Processor (3.4-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 661 Processor (3.6-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB) or
Intel Pentium D Dual Core Processors:
Intel Pentium D 805 Dual Core Processor (2.66-GHz, 2x1MB L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 820 Dual Core Processor (2.8-GHz, 2x1MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 915 Dual Core Processor (2.8-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 925 Dual Core Processor (3.0-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 930 Dual Core Processor (3.0-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 940 Dual Core Processor (3.2-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 945 Dual Core Processor (3.4-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 950 Dual Core Processor (3.4-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)

Unfortunately, these are old processors and I don't see any available new. Newegg.com lists a couple available as refurbished. You may be better off getting a new computer with either a Intel I3 or current AMD processor.

I wish that I had better news for you.

(do not attempt to use a CPU that your motherboard doesn't support. It probably won't boot.)

Is this going to be surfice?

Yup this used pc has a superior processor running at 2.8 Ghz, more ram, and a better video card. Also windows 7 is a 64 bit system and it runs better even on slower pcs because its more compatible for dual core processors. Enjoy your faster pc.

Cpu suport

Going with problem heading stating ->

IBM 73P0595 motherboard > CPU Support > and previous problem statement ->
"I have updated my processor from INTEL Pentium d 820,2800mzh 1500mzh to INTEL Pentium d 945,3400mzh....."

Let's take a look at the IBM 73P0595 motherboard specifications, first;

http://www.epinions.com/specs/IBM_System_Boad_W_O_POV_10_100_73P0595_Motherboard?sb=1

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-73P0595-ThinkCentre-M50-A50-Motherboard-SOCKET-478-2-4GHz-Intel-CPU-/200870757822?pt=Motherboards&hash=item2ec4d485be

A) Socket 478 processor socket

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_478

B) Intel 865G motherboard chipset,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#Pentium_4_chipsets

The Intel 865G motherboard chipset DOES NOT support dual core processors.
Does NOT support an Intel Pentium D; 820 OR 945

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_D_microprocessors#.22Smithfield.22_.2890_nm.29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_D_microprocessors#.22Presler.22_.2865_nm.29

Those two processors also use the LGA 775 processor socket.
(Socket T,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_T )

What did you base your CPU support on?
Was it the fact that the Intel 865G motherboard chipset, will support Intel Celeron D?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron_D#Celeron_D

The Intel Celeron D is NOT a dual core processor,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron_D#Celeron_D

"The Intel Celeron D processor works with the Intel 845 and 865 chipset families.

The D suffix actually has no official designation, and does not indicate that these models are dual-core.

It is used simply to distinguish this line of Celeron from the previous, lower performing Northwood and Willamette series, and also from the mobile series, the Celeron M......"

Not the IBM 73P0595 motherboard we're talking about?

OK.

Let's just base it on the statement that you tried to upgrade, from an Intel Pentium D820 to an Intel Pentium D945,

http://www.fixya.com/support/t13549945-update_intel_pentium_d_945_procesor

What motherboard are you using?
Motherboard in a HP Compaq DC7600 Desktop PC?

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12253_div/12253_div.HTML

Scroll down to the bold subheading -> Processor and Speed

Intel Pentium D820 at 2800MegaHertz (2.8GigaHertz),
with 800MegaHertz Front Side Bus, is supported.
(800MHz FSB)

Probably came with your computer, huh?

Intel Pentium D945 at 3400MHz (3.4GHz), with 800MHz FSB is supported also.

This can be seen by the specifications of the motherboard chipset, also. The Intel 945G motherboard chipset,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#Pentium_4.2FPentium_D.2FPentium_EE_chipsets

Scroll down to 945G in the left column. (Last one listed in chart)

Apparently you just needed the 786D family Processor Microcode Update, or did that not work out?

Awaiting reply,
Regards,

What is the main difference between dual core and core 2 duo? processor

1. Dual core is the generic name given to processors that have 2 cores on the same chip 2. Core 2 Duo is the second line of dual core processors from Intel 3. Other dual core processors aside from Core 2 Duo are the Core Duo from Intel and the X2 series from AMD 4. All Core 2 Duo processors are dual core but not all dual core processors are Core 2 Duo

I would like to upgrade my Acer Aspire 4315 PC Notebook it has celeron processor 1.73ghz 533mhz fsb 2.53gb ram running on win xp pro what dual core processor can this laptop take?

Well most modern laptops cannot not be upgraded in this manner because the processors are hard soldered on the motherboards. Even if you have a removable type processor the newer dual cores will not be compatible with your type of motherboard.

CONFUSION WITH INTEL CORE DUO AND INTEL PENTIUM DUAL CORE!

You are worrying about nothing.

Intel Pentium Dual Core and Intel Celeron Dual Core are both Intel Core Dual processors.

The performance rate is mesured compared to a single core processor so your 2.2GHz dual core will do the same amount of work as a 4.95GHz single core.

What are differences between single core and dual core processor?

A dual-core processor is much faster than a single-core processor since it is two processors mounted on the same die. Each of the two processors are the exact same, one mounted on the top, and the other mounted on the bottom of the die. Since there are two processors, there is the ability to perform twice as many computations in any given amount of time, making it quite clear why dual-core proceesors are faster than single-core processors. With two processors sharing the workload, the upload and download times are much faster, and three dimensional manipulation becomes more accessible without over-clocking the CPU and freezing your computer. Dual-core processors will make the graphics of your high definition LCD monitor a lot clearer and crisper, and the flow of multi-person role playing games a lot more fluid.

Uppgrade to a faster processor?

Hi 
Pentuim D is a processor that has 2 x cpu in one and a core 2 duo has 2 cpu's plus 1 smart core bigger cache 
you can only upgrade to a E2140 or E2180 processor on that motherboard 
OR replace the board with a newer type

If you want to work the actual speed for the processor of a dual core take the speed for example dual core 1.8 x 2.1 =3.78 GHz 
Core 2 Duo  1.8 x 2.4 = 4.32 GHz

Cpu enquiry

There really is no difference, there are differences in the E numbers though. Those are specificallt about it's GHz's, it L1 and L2 cache.

Though Intel Core 2 Duo is the same as Intel Dual Core. It's just a different name. This confusion is caused because of Intel changing the names of it's processors series. The Pentium brandname for example is gone. Intel Pentium Dual Core is now called Intel Core 2 Duo.

I hope this answered your question.

DarkNeogen.
