Hi, ive recently purchased a intel e6800 processor and when i installed it my pc wouldnt boot up, i found out that my motherboard is not compatible for it, so can anyone tell me what motherboard i need for the processor? thanks

Hi, please see this link for cpu's that are compatible with the above mentioned motherboard's chipset
http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/G43_Express.html

clean the RAM and insert it. if not change the RAM. If problem not solved, you have brought a G41 Asus motherboard, which is not compatible with celeron processor. insert a pentium dual core processor and it will work.

Confirm your motherboard's compatibility with the Intel CPU you want to install. Motherboards typically only support one type of CPU slot, so purchase an Intel processor that is compatible with that slot.
Ensuring your processor and motherboard are compatible is vital when choosing parts to build your own computer system. If they are both the same socket type, they will most likely work together.
Brands
There are a plethora of motherboard manufacturers, but only two main processor manufacturers: AMD and Intel.
Every motherboard, regardless of manufacturer, has a socket that will accept a processor.
Intel
Common Intel socket types include LGA775, LGA1156 and LGA1366. Older models include PGA370, PGA423 and Socket 479.
Your motherboard and processor will be generally compatible if their socket types match. ...

Hope this will help you and please don't forget to rate me. Thanks for using FixYa

Sorry but you can't. It is not compatible. You can install Pentium D processor instead, if you want to.

For the list of compatible processors for your motherboard, you can check it here:

The E5200 would be a nice upgrade. It retails on Newegg.com for 65-69.00 and usually has free shipping. And if you have a compatible motherboard and purchase a nice heatsink, it overclocks very nicely.

intel doesnt list any vista drivers for that motherboard on there site so you might run into problems with the intergraded devices such as the ethernet,audio,chipset, & any intergraded video

You might be able to use the xp drivers but if theres problems it wouldnt be supported by intel

if i understand correctly you swapped the cpu to another computer and it did not work... you need to purchase or find another cpu that is compatable with your motherboard.

I think it should work. Make sure you update your bios. I dont see why it wouldn work. I have an intel 640 processor and I loved it. I recently got a dual core but it should work in any recent(past 3 years) 775 chipset mobo.

This is Intel's website for this motherboard, which lists which CPUs are compatible.
