Does anyone provide guidance as to whether or not an Intel Core2 Duo E7500 Wolfdale CPU will fit on an older Foxconn 661FX7MJ motherboard? Both are Socket LGA 775, but I really don't know how to determine compatibility. I'm afraid that my BIOS might be too old for the E7500, or that some other factor might prevent this CPU from working. (I'm not looking to overclock or anything, simply upgrade to a dual-core processor.)
I currently have an Intel Pentium 4 (2.8) CPU mounted on a Foxconn 661FX7MJ motherboard. Needless-to-say, this system is a few years old. I'd like to keep it going for a while longer before I swap out both the MB and CPU, and go through the hassles with Microsoft about trying to use my present case, HDD, other peripherals---and my current copy of Windows 7. (FYI, I built a new computer last winter with an Intel Core 3 CPU---entirely new everything except HDD---and tried to use my current drive with Win 7. Microsoft wouldn't let me do this, and I ended up buying another HDD and Win8. Thus, I still have this present computer.) I'd like to upgrade to the E7500, but I'm just not sure it would work on the Foxconn MB. Foxconn doesn't have an online compatibility chart for this board.
Any guidance appreciated. Thanks.
