That will only support Pentium Ds, which are an upgrade, but still not ideal.

A Pentium D is a dual core.
That board will support core 2 duos, but only if it's a certain revision. If it's off ebay you may end up with an early revision board that can't have them (even with a BIOS update)

srry its just that i can buy one tomorow and im rushing around trying to find one thats suitable with my parts and a decent dual core.
about that first one, if i got it and a dual core pentium D, what kinda increase of FPS do you think id get with COD4, + the sapphire HD3850 on a 500W PSU :)

That youtube link is for an AMD motherboard, you can get an AMD chip if you liie, but that socket (754) doesn't support dual cores, only single cores, so there's no point.

It is a dual core CPU. I assume you mean would it be as good as a Core 2 Duo. Short answer, no it wouldn't. Nowhere near.

I would certainly recommend a Pentium D over a Celeron D, but your power supply may not be able to take it if it's weak, the Pentium Ds use an absurd amount of power.

The D950 is fine, it's one of the better old Pentium Ds. About equivalent to today's $70 Pentium E in performance. As for the PSU, it depends which 500W. All PSUs are not equal.

Someone earlier said that you HAVE to use thermal paste. You don't. Currently I have no thermal paste and am running a Q6600's overclocked, with the stock CPU cooler with healthy temperatures. It will definitely help keep temperatures a bit cooler, but most people don't need it.

Yes, you do have to use thermal paste. The stock cooler just comes with a thermal pad, which you have to remove when you put your own on.
