DG965ss Supported Processors
I'm curious if there will be a noticeable difference between the Pentium D 930 3.00GHz and the Pentium D 960 3.60 GHz?

...keep in mind that the performance of other hardware such as the Ram and video card will affect how the CPU performs as you could end up with a bottleneck caused by having a fast CPU but slow Ram etc.

BTW, thank you for your help and expertise phillpower2. I appreciate the education and the resources/links/direction you have provided.List of supported CPUs please read the ! Compatibility details differ per processor revision information at the link.

You are most welcome konakula29er
You are correct re the CPU information as different links tell us different things, please see the Supported Processors information Here
Just so I am 100% certain (and do not end up with egg on my face ) that I have the correct MB and CPU can you run Speccy and post the url for us please.
...I personally would not bother swapping the CPU due to the minimal gain that the Pentium D 960 offers, this because of the cost of a new CPU and the time, trouble and risk involved when swapping out a CPU (bent or snapped pins etc)+ your present CPU has a lower power consumption 95W as opposed to the D 960 requiring 130W.

What you mainly use the computer for will best determine your options so can you let us know please.
How about an alternative for delving into upgrades and tinkering in general, bid on some parts on a site such as ebay, that is what I used to do when I had the time.Please give me your thoughts on the Core 2 Duo upgrade vs. the Pentium D 960. I appreciate your help.

You are welcome BTW
Swings and roundabouts as both have two cores and two threads, the core 2 duo is relatively inexpensive and not so dated and so could be deemed as an improvement over the Pentium D.Can you tell me though if I'm on the right path concerning the Core 2 Duo vs. the Pentium D 960?

As you would be buying second hand and even though the CPU may work, it may not function to it's full potential.
