Quick find Numbers:

Processor = 112959

Motherboard = 123866

Can i use just normal XP with Dual Core?

Also is 125398 a Dual Core, its in the sub section but doesnt state a Dual Core in the spec.

Any help please?

That processor is not dual core..

XP works fine with Dual Core, yep.

Athlon X2 for Dual Core if you want AMD.

You'll need to check that board compatability.. but the CPU is dual core. (People are saying in the review it works ok with the X2 CPU's.. but I'd double check on the manufacturer site!)

The CPU is OEM tho, which means it doesn't come with a heatsink and fan, so you'll need to add one on!

Excellent thanks, just need to find a decent heatsink and fan.
