will a GeForce GTX 280 work with a Core 2 Duo 3GHtz, ??? a friend said it doesnt work on his 2,8GHt duo, so i just worried if i buy 1 it wont work

wtf why wouldnt it work? its proberly his mobo which is at fault, you cant blame the processor

 

[Nickd]

course it will work!

it works on a quad core, so a dual core should be no prob

As Barfish mentioned, the compatibility issues do not come in with the selection of GFX card and CPU, but rather when you select Mobo/CPU.
It is highly unlikely that PCI-e cards would not work on a mobo that supports PCI-e (given that you install the most up-to-date drivers). The Mobo/CPU combo on the other hand is not as straight forward as that. I bought a new system a few months ago and went for a XFX mobo with a 680i chipset, I thought of going with the E8500 cpu, but at that time, the firmware of the mobo did not yet support the Wolfdale series of cpu's. I had to go for the Q6600 instead (which I love dearly).

If you are not to comfortable with our non-professional solution to the problem, maybe you can try to google it and see if there are any other peeps out there with a similar problem.

to answer your question lol yes it would work as long as your mobo has pci-e x16 slot, which It proberly does.
