I have a Intel® Desktop Board D915GAV which i bought in 2005 and i currently have a P4 cpu, but i want to upgrade to an Intel® Core™2 Quad processor or an Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor either way i don't want a new motherboard just a new cpu, so please let me know if my motherboard will support it??
