Hi Thanx for the welcome--taking NAP classes-hence the username--anyway--one of my wife's friends bought a motherboard and CPU --the motherboard I think is useless for my needs ,but I wanted to know if an ASUS P4P800 MX-S Motherboard will support dual core technology--specifically--can i install an Intel PD 805 2.66 GHz dual core where an old pentium 4 now resides--I am running 32 bit XP Home Edition--Thanx for any help--Joe

thank you for that--let me ask you this then-will the motherboard that came with it--anMSIPM8PM-V work wher my ASUS was before?--it will only support 2Gb of RAM--is it a quality enough M/B to Make the change --and will i have to make major adjustments i.e. drivers reload O/S etc.even though all is the same except the Motherboard and the processor?--I hope I explained that enough--I just want to know should i follow the "if it aint broke,don't fix it"--or is that MSI board with @Gb of RAM superior to what I currently have and woth changing out---thanx In advance
Remember, any way you choose to go, if you transfer a hard drive from one motherboard to another, you will have to format it and install the operating system again along with drivers for your peripherals.
