Hi rinderkind and welcome.

Check it out for yourself, but I think your 915GM Express chipset does not support dual core processors - it is just too old and only supports Celeron M or Pentium M processors. Also I'm fairly sure it cannot support a 667MHz FSB.

I think the 945 was the first chipset to support Dual Core.
