The Core 2 Duo as well as the Core Duo, Core Solo is not on the list of chips supported by the i945 chipset.
You'll have to search for Pentium D CPUs and hope it works out.

As it says i have a Dell XPS 400 that currently has an Intel Pentium D 820. I'm looking for possible processor upgrades.. If thats even possible. I've heard it rumored that Core 2 Duos will work but never and actually confirmation. Also i've found that Intel Pentium E6300's didn't come out long after the Pentium 820s etc.. I know my computer can support an FSB of 1066 and obviously dual core.. But beyond the 800 series i'm shooting in the wind. Can anyone help?
