What's the best CPU that I could put on my DG965MS Motherboard. I have a Pentium D at the moment but I was thinking of upgrading to a newer CPU.

Thanks.

Compatible Processors for DG965MS.

Intel® Processors and Boards Compatibility Tool - Search Results Page
Re: DG965MS Motherboard

Where is says "Compatibility details differ per processor revision" how can I check exactly which version I should get? Ideally I would get a E6700 but it does say that.

Thanks
Re: DG965MS Motherboard

Look on the Mobo number for a tag that has "AA". The numbers following AA will be the board's revision number.
E6700 needs revision 402-403-404-405-406
Bios version 1698 or above.
Re: DG965MS Motherboard

Ok so that would work on a
Version AAD35508-405?

I just want to make sure then I will mark the thread as solved.
Re: DG965MS Motherboard

Intel site says any revision from 402 to 406 so you should be good.
If your Bios version 1698 or above you should be good to go.
Re: DG965MS Motherboard

I would have to upgrade my bios but by the looks of things I can do that without any trouble.

Thanks alot for the help.
You're welcome and best of luck.
