Intel D945Gnt Motherboard with the Core 2 Duo?

Question

I recently bought this motherboard from a friend who said it was a great one and said that it was compatible with the Core 2 Duo processor (which is what I want for my new desktop). Well I was browsing through the internet and everywhere I went to, all of the sites said that this motherboard was only compatible with the Pentium D, the Pentium 4, and the Celeron D processors. I am a pretty hard-core gamer and wanted the Core 2 Duo because I heard that it was much better than the rest. And now I was wondering, even if this motherboard says it's not compatible with it, and it uses the LGA775 socket like the core 2 duo, would it do much to my motherboard if i put a Core 2 Duo in here anyways?

Answer 1

no b/c it is not compadable w/ it even though they use the same socket, that MB prbly wont know wat it is.

Answer 2

Some friend you have there. Get your money back.
