Hi IBN,
It looks to me that you should be O.K.
Here is the CPU spec's:
CPU - LGA775 socket for Intel® Pentium 4/Celeron CPU
- Intel Pentium® Processor Extreme Edition & Intel
Pentium® D Processor ready
- Compatible with Intel® 05B/ 05A and 04B/04A processors
- Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology ready
Good Luck
Rick

Not to be argumentative, but the Core 2 Duo isn't a Pentium. It's a different architecture. Wikipedia tells us that that chipset doesn't support Core 2 Duo. That's the way I understand it, anyway.

Well

I think that the intel P965 chipset is the lowest that supports the core 2 duo.

Check into the Asus P5B line of boards. They are avaliable in all kinds of flavors to suite your needs.
