Hi,

I'm currently running a P4 550 3.4Ghz on a system I built a couple of years
ago.

Do I have any processor upgrade options for the ASUS P5GD2 Premium
LGA 775 motherboard (which I understand was one of the best mobos available
when I
got it, certainly one of the most expensive)?

It uses the 915P chipset, with an 800Mhz FSB. I've been told that Core2
processors aren't supported on this, but what about the newer PentiumD
series? Is it worth upgrading?

According to the Asus website the best processor you can use is the
P4 670/672
.
