Best Intel CPU on an 800MHz bus?

the best is the E4700, make sure your motherboard supports it first.

well if you are only limited to the two mentioned, then go for the E4700. I wouldnt touch anything with the name Pentium tbh, as they are old processors that use older technology and arcitecture. Chris_53

Pentium Dual-Cores are just fine. They are a Core2, just with less cache.

Now Pentium 4's and Pentium D's, yeah they were not so great, but the "Pentiums" he linked are good CPU's.

Seriously, if you don't know what you're talking about don't bother posting. The E5*00 series are based on the same 45nm architecture as the awesome E8*00 series just with less cache and a slower FSB. Hell it even says Wolfdale in the description.

what is your motherboard?

Hi Topic poster tell us the make and model of your motherboard.

We can double check it for you to make sure you can do the upgrade.

On some motherboards you have to flash the bios to support the

newer processors.

S**t sorry about that dude, I woke up in a right mood today and I honestly don't remember it sounding that harsh when I wrote it.

Hi You have to see what bios version you have on your board. Looks like

your board was made by Intel. You have an Intel 945GC Northbridge chipset. I went to Asus site and checked the same

Northbridge chipset on their boards just to see what they have done with their bios versions. Asus

seems to have been able to support 1066Mhz bus natively but 1333 bus will revert to 1066. I found this

Looks like you will have to go over to the Intel site and see if you can get a bios flash update.

Better check what bios version you have now at this point. Maybe it is new enough to support

the E4700. If you are lucky maybe the new bios will allow you to put in a processor with a 1066Mhz

front side bus.

Hi Looks like you are good to go with an E4700. I guess that was the fastest

Core 2 Duo processor with 800Mhz bus.

EDIT: Flash tothe 0059 bios version before you buy the E4700.
