All depends on the chipset though, what motherboard is it?if its on LGA 775 socket, yea theres room for upgrades

It's a socket 775 so yes; in the socket you can put a more modern C2D/Q2D but will it fire up correctly? - Probably not because, who in their right mind would assamble a PC made of a pentium D 915 along with a P3x/P4x (later series of motherboards) chipset motherboard?, Im almost positive he got a older P9xx motherboard, and that is not going to work with a modern s775 CPU. (well the P965 might work, but who got a D915 with that? ) The FSB dont matter if the board wont recognice the CPU. The FSB can be read thru CPU-Z ( CPUID ) What specific/exsact motherboard are we talking about?Ok my cousin has a really old processor (intel pentium d 915 2.8ghz).
