I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not an Intel Core Duo (specifically, this one: Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail) would fit inside the spot currently occupied by an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor (running at 2.19 Ghz if that makes a difference). I'm just not sure how to check, besides for simply counting pins and matching them up to a picture.

Will I have to buy a new motherboard in order to get the new processor?

Thanks in advance for any help you give.
 
ahh the good ol days wen u all three CPU brands are compatiable on the same motherboard, what ever happened to the good times?

of course your paying $300 for a 300mhz proccesor
 
no, if you are gonna go dual core, get the e8400 for close to 200 (much faster, cooler, better)
or get the q6600 for 280 or so. quad core
