It is a conroe Pressler (Kentsfield) I posted the picture earlier from a website but here it is again http://www.asrock.com/mb/photo/4Core...A(Enlarge).jpg
I don't have a camera so I can't show you what mine looks like, but I'm quite confident that is my motherbaord.

Wow thanks hope that will be the same for my desktop if I do decide to get QuadCore.

i have had blu-ray rips playing on a pentium 4 3.0ghz, but it was let down by the graphics card as, it is only a old nvidia pci card.

it will be cheaper to get a good core 2 duo would probably be better dependent on what you use the pc for as it will be cheaper for you.
Ok well I use my computer for playing WoW most of the time. I have a Nvidea 9400GT Fanless Graphics card (512Mb + HDMI socket). I was thinking about the Core 2 Dou but is it enough to play bluray?
