what motherboard your system have. Read motherboard manual, or visit motherboard manufacture's website to find compatible processors.

hey why dont you search for your motherboard's manual(most of the branded computer companies give them in your mottherboard's cartoon) that will give you complete information about all upgrades if not then check the MSI website and search for your motherboard's model(basically they are categorised by chipset-types)........


but if you cant do this then you must know that most motherboards support further upgrade compatibilities upto 6-12 month of upcoming products...... and you know when you bought your pc... and when the C2D's and C2Q's came into market.......

It's probably a 915 chipset...
If so there's no way you could use a dual core or c2d with it.
Check the ram wala tab in cpu-z whether it is DDR1 or DDR2..

newer 945g express then it might support core 2 duo and that depend on manufacturer model..
older 945g do not support the new cpu i think

MS-7137 seem like it is used oem for small form factor pc branded by other company
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?f...2_no=&cat3_no=

looks like chance of yours supporting core 2 duo is near zero

I think you will need a Mobo update.

Jan 2006 means that its probably a 945G/P, which is incompatible with the Core2 series. The first chipset to support the Core2 released in June 2006.

945GC codename:Lakeport G is the only 945 to support the core2 and it was released in Jan 2007.

So outta luck buddy...

Intel release dates ::Here::
