I am upgrading my sons computer I know how to do it but not sure about parts that work together well anyway he has a intel core dual 1.6ghz cpu socket 775 LGA 4000mhz cpu on the motherboard can I replace it with this one

Intel Pentium E5700 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor

or would it need a different motherboard

Would need to know what motherboard is installed if its a custom built pc or make and model number of pc if its store bought.

Nothing is gauranteed until we know the CPU support of the pc you have.

According to the following webpage, the e5700 will not work with that board.
