your intel 2.9 cpu is a 478 chip and motherboard that has a 478 socket, the core 2 using a completely new structure.
go to www.pricewatch.com and get your self a new mother board and cpu (they have combos too), the rest of your hard ware you can move on to your new board.|||i think u have to buy a new cpu n m%26#039;board coz not all cpu compatible w all m%26#039;board........
