Upgrade intel pentium dual-core processor

[jaimin_60]

My current processor is Intel Pentium Dual Core D3400 @ 2.16 Ghz . Does it support Intel Core i3 Processor ?

if this is your cpu, then no, your motherboard does not support core i3 processor.
to run a (sandy bridge) core i3 2xxx processor, you'll need a new motherboard with intel h61/h67/p67/z68 chipset.
