Intel® Pentium® D Processor
Upgrading from Pentium® 4 Processors to Intel® Pentium® D Processors

Older Pentium® 4 processor-based systems generally do not have motherboards capable of supporting Pentium® D processors. Pentium® D processors require systems which have motherboards that can support dual core processors.

See our support site for a list of Intel® Desktop Boards that support Pentium® D processors.

Consumers who have systems running Pentium® 4 processors should check with their motherboard or system manufacturer on processor compatibility prior upgrading processors.

This applies to:
