A quick question for anyone who might just know the answer
He discovered an old MSI motherboard in the closet with no dust spec listed. It appears to be an MSI MS-7210 version 3.0 or a 945GM2-FR/FI/F model, though it's unclear which one. The board uses LGA 775 and doesn't support Core 2 CPUs. You're looking for the strongest Pre-Core 2 or non-Core 2 LGA 775 CPU that fits this board, or perhaps a modified BIOS to enable Core 2 support.
