I have an OEM Mobo(Alioth 50 r1.09g)Desktop:Samsung Magic Station DB-Z58(http://www.samsung.com/sec/support/model/DB-Z58/T341G-downloads?downloadName=DR)(Use Google Translate) Core 2 Duo requires VRM 11.0(I dont know my VRM revision).My bios is 12/04/2006(latest)(First bios was also 2006,can't remember) and the Core 2 duo was released 7/27/2006.Will it work with an unknown vrm revision and a bios of 12/4/2006?

Very close to that, yes. Not exactly since the only difference between the Pentium 4 5xx and 6xx was that the 6xx series supports 64bit instructions so you can use a 64bit OS. I think the Pentium D 8xx chips are 2 x Pentium 4 6xx chips on the same die and the Pentium D 9xx series was a slight update. All of them use the old Intel Netburst architecture though. And Netburst was not very good even when new. That was back when AMD made a faster CPU.

Probably not. Even if the chipset supports it ( I doubt it ) the support would also have to be written into BIOS. OEMs do not generally add CPU support like a company such as Asus or Gigabyte would.

Celeron D 336 - 351(2.8-3.2ghz)
Pentium 4 631 - 651(3.0-3.4ghz)
Pentium D 920 - 930(2.8-3.0ghz)

Thats what in the manual.The manual also provide tutorial to change processors.(The Manual is really old).I currently have the pentium 4 631.They provide bios update but the latest available is 12/04/2006. The core 2 duo was released 7/27/2006. My bios(12/4/2006) is later than the core 2 duo E6300(7/27/2006).Will it work or should i get the pentium d 930(1/16/2006)/intel e2140(6/3/2007)(later that my bios)?

BIOS date does not matter. It's an OEM that's what matters. If those are the only processors listed they are the only processors supported. The 945G chipset was not designed for Core2. Special BIOS had to be written and only companies like Asus did that. The first chipsets designed for Core2 were the 975X and P965.

It's really not worth your time upgrading to a Pentium D. You can try a Core2 but 99.,9% it will not work.

You are stuck with the very first LGA 775 chips. Pentium 4 and Pentium D. And not even all those. There was a Pentium 4 5xx series before the 6xx series. That is the lack of BIOS support.

It will not hurt anything. It just will not boot. Good luck if you try it and I hope you can get your money back.

A better idea is just to save up for a new CPU, motherboard and RAM. And probably hard drive since what you have now is likely IDE and new boards don't even include that anymore.

It's up to you. A Pentium D is literally 2 Pentium 4 chips on the same die. Core2 is over 40% faster clock for clock. A Pentium D 3Ghz is comparable to a new 1.4Ghz netbook processor. The Core2 chips are not going to work but try if you want. I would be happy to be wrong :)
