Answer 1

It really depends on your motherboard whether it supports the S939 X2s (dual cores). Some old motherboards may not be able to support dual cores even if they do fit the socket.

Answer 2

It is a socket 939 motherboard.(will only accept AMD processors) Any socket 939 processor should work including the dual core ones.

Answer 3

You have a good friend. :) Core 2 dual needs kinda new hardware and stuff. And its totally different chip from the one u are using now.
