Intel pentium E6500

Hi guys so, i was wondering if an Intel pentium E6500 will be compatible with my. Emachine ET1831-05 Motherboard (MCP7svt-PM) I have a intel core duo e6600, as i did some research online most say that the pentium e6500 is better than the intel core duo6600.

Yes it's compatible, both CPU's use the same socket LGA775.

Maybe, maybe not, the mobo bios/chipset need to support it to.

different family

From what I can tell, the problem is going to be if the BIOS supports it or not. But yes, the Pentium E6500 (2C/2T) is technically more powerful than the Core 2 Duo E6600 (2C/2T): the Core 2 uses the Conroe (65nm) architecture, the Pentium uses the slightly newer Wolfdale-3m (45nm) architecture. The Core 2 is slower per core, hence why it's a step down in the hierarchy (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html).

Assuming it's compatible with the BIOS, & assuming it's limited to the 65W CPUs, your best bet might be the Core 2 Duo E7600: slightly faster than the Pentium, more L2 cache, & 2 tiers up.

Well i had an intel core duo 2 E8400 but it was unstable to use, i kept on having lock ups and BSOD. and i was thinking about getting the core duo e7600 but i dont know if it will boot like the pentium e6600 i bought. I thought it would be compatible with my device but it wouldnt post. So can i get the e7600 as you said it is slighty better then the pentium e6500.

Even if it were compatible, and better, it is kinda a waste to throw money into such an old system.
