Hello, atm I'm using an Asus P5GD1 Pro, which is a really old mobo holding an old prescott P4. This thing is like 2 years old, back when duo cores wasn't mainstream (or didn't exist). I noticed that all the new Intel stuff still use the exact same socket, so its probably possible to shove a duo core in my mobo. But would it work? And if so is it worth it?

Your motherboard is using the i915G chipset . It only supports up to Pentiums w/ Hyperthreading but NOT the dual cores.

Won't work because the Northbridge/Southbridge chipset doesn't support dual core. Go to ASUS website, look your mobo up, and the spec's.

You can get list of suggest upgraded processor through this website http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASUS/P5GD1_Pro.html.
However, the motherboard was created when dual core didn't exist therefore it is not possible as it not suggested in the list.
