Usually a Google search of your motherboard model and "quad core support" will bring up some info on the matter.

Can anyone find one of these cheap
Pentium 4 3.2GHz SL7PW 1M/800MHz Socket 775 P4 CPU

Re: GeForce 8400 GS
 

Moving from a Celeron to a Pentium 4 isn't exactly the most cost-effective upgrade. Did you find out if your motherboard supports Core 2 Duos or Quads?

Re: GeForce 8400 GS
 

Yes its an Nvidia 7050/630I Motherboard but requires an bios update which i cant do because my computer doesnt have a floppy drive.

Re: GeForce 8400 GS
 

I have the 3.4Ghz of that chip right here.

Re: GeForce 8400 GS
 

You don't need a floppy. As far as I know you can update through USB, and many motherboard manufacturers offer an automatic update method which doesn't require a floppy. In any case, you can just borrow a USB floppy drive off someone.

^Indeed. In the past 5 years, I have not seen a single motherboard BIOS that couldn't be flashed either via USB or through an executable in Windows.
