The answer is yes. Providing, of course, the mobo has the appropriate bios to support said cpu Most mobos support all the 775's, but some boards do not. The specs sheet will show what cpus are supported by what board.
Ok to be precise:
Most all mobos supports 775 chips. There are mobos that state they will support X chip, but does not unless it has the lastest bios to recognise and support X chip.
Other mobos state they will support X, Y & G chips, but do not, even with the new bios.
That clear it up for you?
Theres only one brand of 775 chips and that's intel.
noob question about socket LGA775 mobos
Alright, let me just remind you of the title:
How about using an extremely old 775 chip on a new 775 board?Unless your using an extremely old 775 board (2 Yrs+), you're probably fine with any 775 chip.
