No. Your old motherboard has a 915 chipset; won't work with any core2 duo cpus. You'll need a different board. I have used the "boston" hp board made by msi. It will run your cpu but only has 2 ram slots. It was $59 on ebay last time I checked. If you don't feel comfortable changing out a motherboard, wait and get another new system and return or sell the cpu on craigslist.

What do you guys think about the AMD Athlon II X3 425 & Biostar MCP6P M2+ Combo that Frys Electronics is selling for $59. Is that a great deal or is there a better deal. As I have been wanting to upgrade the processor.
