Hi, my PC is 3 years old now, i want to upgrade it, because i cant really afford to buy a new system.

My current motherboard is: ASUS PTGD1-LA Socket 775

Does anyone know if this can support dual core, and could it support this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132310/show_product_reviews.

Thanks.

Unfortunately the architecture in that PC will be too old to make upgrading worthwhile. it will be cheaper to start from scratch. You can of course keep your disk drives and probably your case, but the rest will need an upgrade.
