E7400 by a long way...

 

But you need a compatible board.

Previously I had ASUS P5KPL-AM Board + Pentium D 945 + 4GB DDR2 RAM, Recently I changed my M/B to Intel DG43NB, after that my old processore is not working with new M/B. So if I buy Core 2 Duo E7400 and same 4GB DDR2 RAM then my PC will work Faster than preous or same?

Please Help.

Yes it will be faster with the E7400 but the D 945 should of worked in the DG43NB so their might be a problem with the board.

No, D945 is not supported by DG43NB, I checked supported CPU list from Intel website. Will you please tell me how to determine which CPU will work fast? Cause you know D945 have More Clock speed and Cache than E7400, but as per you, it will work faster.

And thats what it is a list not a full list of all CPU checked because Intel would be checking a lot of CPU the E1600 is not listed yet there is a E1400 and E1500 listed does not mean it will not work....then theirs the RAM is your listed?

 

Many other makers that use the Intel chip G43 support the D 945 like the GA-EG43M-S2H big list of testing.

Some what hard to determine which CPU will work fast with such a new and old CPU so I hope this helps D950 vs E6400 (in some results less is better)
