processor downgrading possible???

chilloh · 03-08-2008

my friend has a core 2 duo processor but he has some older hardware on his pc, so is it possible that he can downgrade it to a pentium 4 processor?

That would depend on the motherboard. I've never heard of someone going backwards with technology, so I recommend getting the user documentation for the system motherboard and see what processors are supported by it.

Depending on the motherboard yes, but why? Like joe said, don't hear of many going backwards...
