Thanks
PS will they work in my computer
-
i would go for a processor
but list your pc specs and one of the pros will tell you what you need most !

Get a new CPU, new motherboard and new graphics card.
But not that CPU and board, they're older technology, not good performance, and expensive.
-
Right. Change of mind.
What motherboard will work with the Intel E6600 duo.
And were can I get one cheap
-
Any Socket 775 motherboard that support Intel Core 2 Duo will work with the E6600.
Here's a good board that supports Core 2 and SLI. (http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=4CNS&CategorySelectedId=11143&NavigationKey=11143,405070000,356410000,4294959071,43670000)

Will this one work.

And if it does, will my old processor still work with it, because I may not be able to bye them both at once
Of topic, how do you have writing as a link, insead of having the link
Thanks
-
Exactly, but in the minds of Ebay sellers 3GHz dual core --> 6GHz dual core.
Quite how they work that out I don't know, but it's a valid point.
I overlooked it - too used to just halving the speeds all the time to get past that.
Edit: yes, that board will work fine with either processor.
And to have writing as a link, use {url=yourlink.com}your text{/url} and replace { with [, } with ].
Hope this helps.

Thanks Calum,
Big help as always.
I'll get my computer person to fit the motherboard, and I'll bye the processor when I can
Thanks again, everyone who helped me
Bye

I've brought the motherboard and it should be coming soon.
One problem I have, I don't the internet on my new computer.
My sister has taken the wireless (so I could keep the monitor), and I just wont to ask, do any of you know how to set up wireless and what I need to bye- last time my computer man did it all but I don't want to pay him to do it if I can easily do it
Thanks
