Its an Intel processor with the same socket and everything except the processor I'm replacing is slower. Will it work on the same motherboard?

The reason i'm doing this is because my 2.6 processor has a broken pen.

Yes, it should, but check out some of the technical stuff first. But why would you want to replace processor with a slower one?

I believe it will work if you go slower, the problem as the others alluded to is if you have to set jumpers.
Have you just got an extra processor around or did you buy a slower one? I also just have to know, were you bungee jumping when you broke the pin?

Technically speaking yes it should work...now...the real question is how in the world did you manage to break a PIN on the processor if you were using it like you were supposed to and NOT take the thing apart?

Yes, it will work. If the original processor was faster and you replace it with a slower cpu, it is supposed to work.

do you have a jumper setting on the board to identify the proc if not not sure it will work there are many brds you need to set the jumper
