If Everest says it has an ATI RS400 northbridge, then it will not support a Core 2 Duo processor. I have an ASUS board with that chipset in an old PC in the closet and it came out before the Conroes arrived. It's socket 775 sure, but it only supports Pentium 4 and Pentium D's (I have an old P4 630 in mine and it's not worth it finding a Pentium D as an upgrade).

Board's with the RS400 chipset and X200 IGP were pretty much the last ATI chipsets done for Intel processors prior to AMD buying ATI.

Here's AMD's page on the chipset:

http://ati.amd.com/products/radeonxpress200Intel/specs....

While it's wildly possible that Acer could have a proprietary board with the RS400 chipset that does have the right voltage and capacitors to support an Allendale or Conroe, I really doubt it. You'd have to e-mail Acer's tech support for information on how to identify your system and what CPU's it does support. I don't expect it to support anything beyond a Pentium D and even a 3.0 gigahertz Pentium D is slower than a 2 gigahertz Athlon X2 or Core 2 in virtually every task you throw at it.

My recommendation is to get a new board with an Intel chipset if you want a Core 2 Duo upgrade. Contact Acer's tech support for help in getting a new board, as I'm not familiar with that OEM and whether they can fix you up with a new board or if you just have to get a new PC. You might be able to use a standard ATX board in the Acer case, but your copy of Windows might be Acer specific and need a board that's specifically from Acer to work.

In which case, don't go with an OEM like Acer, HP, Gateway, Dell or (especially) Emachines. Have one built custom at a good PC shop or large store like Fry's. Even better, learn to build your own, it's not that hard.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. Merry Christmas and Happy Hannuka. They coincide this year and I celebrate both!

thnx for the loong comment :D 

well the problem is that my pc has no warrenty anymore cus i have changed the case to a Aerocool Aeroengine :) 

and grapic card is changed into a ATI HD3870
and also i have 2gb corsair ram in it

so what u guys say that i need a new mother board? IF it doesnt support the cpu?

IF it doesnt support which motherboard would i buy?

oh and the pc had a sticker with ''vista capable'' lol (i have xp)

No, the board will not support a 8400, even if the chipset does support the new core duos(which it does not), the BIOS on Acer board would not have the necessary built in support for it. Mainstream prebuilds are assembled with very limited support for CPU upgrades, they want you to buy a new system, not upgrade what you have.
Next problem to consider. If you are using the OEM version of Windows that came with your prebuild, it most likely will not work, or even install if you buy a new motherboard.

i have talked with my friend

well im going to buy a new mobo but there one problem i'm have not that much money :) 

what im going to buy is this mobo:

this cpu:
http://www.alternate.nl/html/summaryListing.html?search...

and the good thing he says

the mobo has crossfire supported so i now have the ati HD 3870 with crossfire supported and i can buy a nother hd3870 later and connect them together :D 

Good choices on a budget.

Huge improvement over what you have.

Your also gonna have to ditch the DDR SDRAM for some DDR2 800 ram. (PC2 6400) Your ram will not fit the motherboard, and like another poster said, you will need a new windows disk, cause you cant just drop in your HDD and hope it works, because it wont.

You will need a new Windows Disk, your Acer one wont run on a different motherboard.

You could download a OEM version of your Windows and try to reuse your product key, I have had much success with that.

new windows? :( 

well uhm the best thing i can do the is install vista?

but i have a kinda back-up disk of acer i think that will not work? :( 

oh and i already have ddr2 ram in it and also sata harddisk :)

The Ram in your list is DDR SDRAM, not DDR2, as roadrunner said.

An Acer back up disk most likely has a version of Windows licensed only to Acer. They restore the system to the original purchase configuration by formatting the drive and reinstalling the OS and free software. They would check for an Acer board to ensure the copy of Windows is not being used on a non-licensed PC.

You should be able to get an OEM copy of Windows with the processor and motherboard on your list, but you'll need at least 2 gigs of DDR2 800 as well, so factor that into your costs. Here in the U.S. OEM copies of Windows generally cost $100. DDR2 800 is cheap. Hope you can still do the build.

hmm well i will see then thank you for the comment :) 

but im 100% sure its ddr2 i bought 2 months earlier 2gigs of ram :S and its now in my pc

printscreen of cpuz:


if u still dont believe i will take a picture of it :p
