question about 775

[danibuelpa]

my question is I have a dell dimension 2400 wanted to know if my motherboard supports the intel core 2 duo and 2 or 4 gb of ram because in the specifications it tells me that the maximum memory supported is 1gb ram but I guess that changing the processor will accept more ram

this is the page of mi computer

I can answer this one. The Dimension 2400 is not S775 but S478. Not only that, but it is limited to only 400MHz-FSB S478 processors and only sports a single-channel of DDR1 which is shared with the IGP (and there's no AGP slot).

As there never were any S478 C2D processors, it won't work.

look what happens is that my dell has 2 RAM slots my processor can be removed as I have tried then this is not the processor https://ark.intel.com/es/products/27435/Intel-Pentium-4-Processor-2_26-GHz-512K-Cache-533-MHz-FSB
and this is the one that I want to put

What can I do or change to be more accepted by the Intel Pentium Core 2 duo?

There is nothing you can do with that motherboard. It will not accept an Intel Core2Duo processor. It will not accept more than 1GB of RAM.

Perhaps you are not understanding that 478 is not the same as 775. While there are adapters that let you run 478 processors on 775:

There are none for the other way, because 775 has many more power and ground pins to run power-hungry Prescott CPUs. And the lowest FSB for desktop Core 2 (including Pentium variants) was 800.

Furthermore, the whole idea of a FSB is the memory controller is on the motherboard, not the CPU. So you can change to whatever CPU you like that fits, but it won't affect memory compatibility one bit.
