Processor Compatability Can I use 1-2g processor with it?

I see no reason why you couldn't. The motherboard supports the CPU's socket, and the GTX 660 isn't that powerful of a card. So long as you have a sufficient power supply (no less than 500 watts) you'll I see no reason why you couldn't.

No, only Intel Core 2 Duo processors fit into the motherboard in this PC.

Check Intels website, when you find your processor check the x64 bit mode should say: Yes or NO. That will tell you. I don;t know your processor your using.

Here is the Processor compatability list for that motherboard:

I did not see the 3.16 GHZ processor on the list.

You can download the manual from here:

Their website is slow, but it get to the link.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.

to decide cpu compatability we would know the model of the motherboard.

Processors have a matched frequency rating with the motherboard and memory. So, when replacing or upgrading the processor, the new processor will need to have the same frequency as the old one. If the processors use the same type of memory, ie... PC2100, then ther are most likely compatable, and the use of a processor that was made for or from the same make of laptop is always a good idea. Some processors are designed specifically for use in certain manufacturer's system configurations. For example; say you have a Dell Latitude C840 with a 1.8ghz processor and you want to upgrade to a 2.2ghz processor from a Dell Inpiron 8600, this will work. Both of these machines use the PC2100 memory and have a matched frequency rating of 266mhz, and the processors are made for use in Dell machines. If you would like to tell me exactly what you're wanting to do, maybe I can recomend a processor for you. Let me know.

As far as the system is working. there are no problems with comptability..

If possible try updating the bios to latest version 0047.

The AMD quad core processor will work on motherboards which have the appropriate socket set/size for that particular processor also ensure that your ram is compatible with your processor frequency otherwise you could experience problems.

DirextX compatibility is determined by the video card, not the processor.
You need to check your video card's specs for DirectX compatibility.
