So I'm experimenting with an old computer I dug up - it's an E-Machine T5048 with a 775 slot motherboard. It came with an intel Pentium 4 524 processor @ 3.06ghz and a 533 Mhz FSB. This old P4 launched in 2006.
I'm trying to stick an old E6300 Core 2 Duo into it. it runs at 1.86Ghz with 1066 Mhz FSB. The cpu also launched in 2006.
However, my computer is now not posting - just black screen for the monitor. No beeps, no flashes. The lights on the mobo turns on, but there is no signal to the monitor.
My question is: Can this EMachine T5048's motherboard take (marginally) newer processors such as a 65nm Core2Duo?
