I think the celeron is just a stripped down core 2, but does anyone know if you can install a core 2 in the same mobo?
 
It should work.

What motherboard and which core 2 duo?

EDIT: If the motherboard is old-ish it can't take 45nm Core 2 Duo's but 65nm ones should be fine (ex: e6600).
 
sorry for the limited info, I'm just tossing around ideas.

I've got this slow emachines that I picked up for $300, so I'm not sure what type of mobo I'm dealing with I still have to take it apart.

Thanks. I'm gonna get this thing apart later and see what I'm dealing with.
 
:eek:

$300 is rather steep for a Celeron 450 machine.

Is it returnable?
 
Go to www.cpuid.org and get cpu-z the motherboard tab should give you a clue on the mainboard. Seen an older emachines with celeron 440, 1gb ddr2 667, 160gb hdd with windows xp. It used an ECS 945GCT-M3

Your emachine being newer should have a better mainboard allowing for more possibilities
