WIll this cpu work with my motherboard

[raider89]

I have a MSI 945gm3 Motherboard.

Does it support 45nm processors, im looking to get the Core 2 Duo Processor E7300

Afraid not, according to MSI's compatibility chart.

Ok, would you say the Core 2 Duo Processor E4600 would be better than the p4 3.4ht

 

[NMDante]

Yes.

Any Core 2 CPU would be much better than a P4 CPU.


Not exactly the E4600, but this shows what an E4300 vs. P4 3.2-3.4 CPUs.

is there a way to show the 4600 and 3.4 compare? Like I play games online and do you think it would give me more fps.

Mainly what im trying to do is get the a core 2 duo that will work alot better but also workin my mobo

wait wait wait, nevermind I got the wrong impression from your message, When you said any core 2 would be much better than the p4, then it said Not exactly the e4600 "thinking you saying it sucks lol" but I just figured out you mean this is not exactly the 4600 but the 4300.

 

[NMDante]

Oh. Sorry.
THG did not have an E4600, so I just compared a few Pentium 4s with the E4300, and the P4s were pretty much - beat. So, just imagine what the E4600 could do against them.

Hope it helps.

yea, my current cpu is the p4 3.4 650, and the one's you compared a core 2 1.8ghz the 4300 to the p4 3.8 570 and it beasted it. So I should see a pretty good amount of improvement.

 

[NMDante]

Yes, you should definitely see a good amount of improvement.

Of course, it depends also to your GPU, especially in gaming.
