Dual Core cpu's use Core 2 Duo sockets?

[wjgollatz]

I am looking in Newegg.com and there is no option to refine a motherboard search for Dual Core. I don't want to jump to any assumptions. I am looking to match some motherboards to a Dual Core e5200. (or Core 2 Duo 5200 to some other vendors).

E5200 use's Socket 775

Very good board if you're interested. Just make sure to get 1066 memory if you're going to OC

Any socket 775 motherboard on Newegg should be able to handle Core 2 Duo chips. If not, that's pretty insane considering they've been out for almost three years,

Dual core = generic term for any processor with two cores on-die or in the same package.

Core 2 Duo = Intel's TM name for a series of dual core processors, released originally with the "Conroe" design. Commonly available on Socket 775.
