I want to change ddr2 to ddr3 so I'm thinking of buying new mother board but i don't want to buy new processor. can i add my older Intel core 2 duo 2.93Gz LGA775 socket processor to LGA 1155 socket motherboard.
Or what I can do about it?
 
Solution
LGA 775 and LGA 1155 are two different sockets. This is like comparing a T2 torx size to a P6 Phillips size; not only are they different "sizes" but have layouts too. Find a mobo that can accept a LGA 775 CPU if you dont wanna replace the proc.

You can try using this state of the art, bleeding edge technological device to finesse it to work, but it might void your warranty.
