Hi, i'm upgrading my computer and i bought an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and an Intel P965LTCK motherboard.
I'm making my friend install the new hardware but he's been installing Pentium 4s and pentium Ds and has never seen a Core 2 Duo. Is it the same installation or Core 2 Duo needs new knowledge?
Do I need to upgrade something else?

the core2duo processor has the same socket as the pentiumD and some pentium4's. That's lga775. So if he installed a pentium with lga775 he will have no problem installing the core2duo.
the motherboard is compatible with the core2duo so you won't have to upgrade the bios.
best of luck.

Not at all
No additional knowledge required to install Dual Core CPU's.

The installation procedure is no different from the previous CPU.
