Google is your friend

It is possible but buying new is not good value, second hand may be better

you have to check very carefully the fast side bus speed supported by motherboard & chipset and the CPU

Pentium 4 D are dual core
there are also Pentium 4's with Hyperthreading

Core 2 Duos use less power so do not get so hot for similar clock speeds as Pentium D's but are more effective at doing work

'Core 2 duo' is the 'core 2' design with 2 cores (rather than 1 or 4) it is not same as 'dual core' which could be Intel, AMD or ARM etc cpu's
