I have an extra cpu, can I add it to my motherboard to make dual core?

Only Intel are allowed to glue 2 CPU's together! :P

This question is cute. I like it.

No. It doesn't really work like that.

This post made my day...I am laughing so loud in my office right now...I agree..it is a cute question.

Unfortunately, it's impossible.

I'm presuming you're still young (probably a kid even). I just want to say that I admire your interest in something like this, despite your probable age. I hope you get more interested in these things over the years. That's how I started. No regrets. :)

basically unless this is a server no ahahaha

and the pentium D DOES NOT COUNT!

Also the Core2Quads were just 2 core2duo's stuck together.

shh...... thats a secret..

You sould probably find somewhere to put it, but it wont work.

sell it. People will still pay £20-£60 for a single core. Unless its like a pen. III lol.

I had a spare intel processor a couple of years ago. A friend and I ripped the cord out of a lamp, stripped the wires, and braided them between the processor's pins. When we plugged the cord in the processor exploded. Probably not the best use for a spare component but amusing nonetheless.

Yea, you can, but you need really good glue, because they cores need to be tight with each other. Or try duct tape? It works for everything else, so why not CPUs?

I think for my next PC, I'll just forgo all screws and calbe straps and just use duct tape for everything.

Actually even the Phenom 1's where native quad cores and NOT 2 dual cores in one package. The core2quads still destroyed them but still, AMD have had "true" quad cores for a while now.

Based on the OP's name I don't think he is a kid as has been suggested, at least I hope he is not. No child should support any politician because, unless they are very intelligent (which I am inclined to think the OP is not), they have no basis for their political affiliation. If he is an adult then this must be rather embarrasing. Granted, I am sure many adults do not even know what a CPU is. Nevertheless, it must suck to be an adult and post something on a forum of which the readers of the forum think it to be so unintelligent that they joke, laugh out loud,and presume that the OP is a child. I think this might be a political rant more than anything.

Lets make fun of this post - it's well deserved.

Yes, just get some glue, put a sim card on top of the first cpu (so the CPUs can communicate) and stick the 2nd cpu on top of the sim and you will have a dual core.

Every single one of you didn't even correct the fact that 2 cpus together is not called dual core, but in fact, dual processor/multiprocessor/MP/etc

So even if he had a dual socket motherboard he couldn't create a dual core computer.

That's not true, technically. AMD's Phenom and Phenom II quads aren't put together like the Core 2 Quads. AMD quads are "native" quad-core CPUs. There are a lot of technical details to explain the difference, which I'm neither qualified nor inclined to explain. Suffice it to say that Pentium D's are 2 Pentium 4's slapped together, and Core 2 Quads are 2 Core 2 Duos slapped together. The latter ain't a bad thing.

I just added 500GB of RAM to my CPU.

I'm going to solder my old Compaq's processor to my motherboard and add a cool 166 MHz of power.
