If I buy a motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo attatched will I be able to replace it with a Core 2 Quad someday?

Both of them share the same socket, TTBOMK, so it's the BIOS you need to confirm will work with both. And we can't tell you that from what you wrote.

you need to give us the mobo model so we can check if its quad core compatable or not, the bios is the deciding factor
