processor for an old motherboard....

its 945 chip-set...
E5700 is not compatible unfortunately...

damn.... any good proccesor with the 945 chipset??

hey actually i just checked the desktop board box. the backside had the full description along wit the picture. my board IS LGA 775!!
its written " for Intel core 2 duo, dual core, pentium , celeron ..." etc range of proccy's!!
so i might go with the e5700 for 5k.
what say??

hey guys!!
i am on the look out for a good proccesor for my old " INTEL D945GCNL DESKTOP BOARD"
Is the Intel 3 GHz LGA 775 Dual Core E5700 Processor | Processor | Flipkart.com enough.....
thats INTEL E5700.. is it even compatible??
also which chipset does my mobo support?? the LGA 775 OR the intel 945 chipset?
CHEERS!!

yes, it should be compatible although it is not in the supported CPU list..

I've got my old CPU packed and stored -- E2160 @1.8GHz. PM me for details if you want to buy it.

This is not a buy/sell thread where you can make self promotion about the products you want to sell.

i have the exact cpu. Its was good years ago. So no thanks. also where can i get the cpu mentioned by me anywhere cheaper?

local shops may be .. 945/965 mobos needs a bios update to support 45nm cpus.

Anyway, Not sure if this will work for you or not but found these links :

OC e5300 on d945gcnl

Instead of getting E5700 for 5k, getting Pentium Dual for 3.2k with a H61 board for 2.6k makes more sense. So, for 5.8k you get a much better processor. Just add a 4GB DDR3 RAM for 1.2k and nothing more. Sell of your current motherboard and RAM, say for 1.7k-2k.

okay maybe.... a g630 + asrock h61m- hvgs about 6200rs might be enough??
i have 2 gb ram ( transcend) and nvidia 9400gt.
played most games till 35 fps. not bad.

^^ Good low cost combo.
But I'm not sure about the fps part as I've not used G630 by myself.

the igpu of Pentium G630 is better than a discrete 9400GT.

its not the g630 i was talking about, its my current 1.8 ghz dual core.
and the games i played at the least settings.
