Question Does the Foxconn DG33M06 support Core2 Quad CPUs?

[JoshNollie50]

I have a dell inspiron 530 and i want to upgrade the cpu to a core2 quad and ram to 8gbs but the motherboard I have is G33M02 from a vostro 200 which doesn't support any of the upgrades I want. I would get a DG33M03 motherboard but they're way more expensive than the DG33M06 But there is only a handful amount of sources that say it supports Core2 Quad. Does anyone have this motherboard and can confirm that it does indeed support a core2 quad?

If you don't already have that motherboard, why are you looking to buy one that may or may not be compatible.

Do you already have this CPU and RAM?

No I don't have those parts but I want to get them but the only other motherboard that I 100% know that supports those specs is over €100 and I don't have that kind of money lol.

I thought that upgrading my old dell would be a fun project

Then focus on all compatible parts.
Rather than a specific motherboard which may or may not be compatible wit the other ones you desire.

Also, ensure that the motherboard is compatible with the Dell PSU and case.
