    In most cases if the chipset supports a Pentium D, then it supports a Core 2 Duo. The chipsets supporting Core 2 Duo are 945P and up from Intel. For ATI or Nvidia chipsets, I'm not sure.

    Asus P5E3 Deluxe X38 | Intel QX9770 @ 4.00GHz | 4GB DDR3 1600 | HD 7870 @ 1.2GHz
    HT Omega Claro+ | Intel SSD 320 120GB | 2x 500GB WD Caviar Black, 1x 1TB WD Caviar Blue
    Aerocool Horsepower 750W | Windows 8 Professional x64 | Linux Mint 14 x64
