Hi all! I have an old Pavilion a6244n with the P5LP-LE motherboard. From what im reading it is either a Leonite or a Leonite2. It should have the Intel 945 Chipset.

 

 

I currently have the Core 2 Duo e6700 in it. I was wondering if I could swap it with the Celeron D 365 CPU? It says its compatible with the socket and chipset but I figured I would ask before I risk anything.

 

Thanks!

Hi, @ClownMan 

 

Even if the Celeron processor was supported, the E6700 is better in every respect except the GHz speed.

 

Here is a side-by-side comparison:

 

Intel® Product Specification Comparison

 

Your existing processor has 8x the L2 cache and can run the memory at its full 667 MHz instead of only 533 MHz.

 

The E6700 is a dual core processor vs the Celeron's single core.

 

The E6700 was the best processor offered for that motherboard.

 

Here is an old forum discussion regarding processor upgrades for that motherboard...

Ah, I see. Thank you! I had failed to realize that the celeron was only a single core CPU.

 

Appreciate the fast responses.
