Question Pentium Dual Core
Hi ppl, I was wondering if the dell 0FM586 motherboard supports a dual core pentium processor or are these mobo's only designed for a quad processor? The dual core processor that I'm thinking is the E5300

What exactly do you want to do with the system? And is there any other motherboard choice than the dell?

I currently have a dell inspiron 530 with an intel core 2 quad Q6600 cpu. What I want to do is keep that cpu to build a new system. I was planning on buying a cheaper dual core processor (E5300) and install it on the dell motherboard but I'm not sure if that (OFM586) motherboard supports dual core processors.

Only Dell can tell you positively what processors other than the installed processor are supported by your board.

I feel sure that since the Q6600 is supported there would be support for some Core 2 Duo's, but most likely they would have to be 65nm architecture. The E5300 you are asking about is 45nm architecture and I seriously doubt that you motherboard would support that processor.
