Motherboard / Processor compatibility

[DannyC]

I was wondering if this motherboard would be compatible with my Pentium-D 820.

What motherboard are you talking about?

 

[Mondoman]

Pentium D are the old CPUs with two Pentium cores in the package. "Pentium dual-core" CPUs are actually lower-end modern Core2Duo CPUs.

Yes, they're compatible. Mondoman gave a good explanation on the differences between the 2.
