Used the above to get the specifications.

[Hey Packard-Bell Support;
Packard-Bell Support = 0, joecoolvette = 1.

{Sorry Daniel, not to 'keen' on Packard Bell, and their 'support'.
$$$$$$$$$ + can we help you? Lol! ]

A) Both motherboards have an LGA 775 processor socket,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_775

2) The Packard Bell iMedia D3318 comes with an Intel Pentium Dual Core E2220.

Here is the CPU Support list for the Intel D915GUX motherboard,

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d915gux/sb/CS-026954.htm

No.
The Intel D915GUX only supports Single-Core processors.

This is also backed up by looking at the specifications, for the Intel 915G motherboard chipset,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#Pentium_4.2FPentium_D.2FPentium_EE_chipsets

Also looking at the chart Daniel, you can see dual core processor support, didn't come out until the Intel 945P motherboard chipset,
(Pentium D, Core2 Extreme, Core2 Duo)

Have a single-core processor? You can see in the Intel Support chart, of what single-core processors are supported.

Also, not trying to be a 'downer', but there is something else you should know.
Better to find out now, then after you have come up with a motherboard.

When Windows is installed on a computer, it assigns hash values to certain major hardware components.

1) Processor
2) Motherboard Chipset
3) BIOS program, to include version, and date.
4) Harddrive
5) Graphics Chipset

Change any two of these, and Windows will 'think' it is being stolen.
Microsoft User's License states, "One GENUINE copy of Windows per ONE computer"

{Microsoft makes one Master disk. From it all GENUINE copies are made, and sold to the consumer }

It is still on the same harddrive, and officially belongs to you, and that harddrive.
However with the Windows Genuine Advantage Tool, it may think the Windows operating system is being removed from that computer, and also installed on another one.

(With using the automatic updates feature of Windows, the WGA tool is automatically downloaded to your computer )

After replacing the motherboard, and IF you are lucky, the Activate screen comes up.
After clicking on the activation screen there are several options that come up.

I like speaking to a human being in case there is a problem along the way. I click on - Call Microsoft
You are asked what you wish to do. -> Activate

There is a series of boxes that are blank in front of you, (6 boxes), and a series of boxes with letter/numbers in them. (6 boxes)
You read off CLEARLY the letter/numbers in the first box, to the representative.
After making SURE they heard you correct, you read off, one at a time, the rest of the boxes.

There is a period of silence as the rep states 'Hold On'.
Then the rep will read off a series of letter/numbers back to you.
You left-click in the first box, and type the letter/numbers.
(Repeat them BACK! Make SURE you heard correctly!)

You do not need to left-click in the second box, the blinking cursor automatically goes to the second box, and all boxes thereafter.
Just type.

When you are finished there will be a period of silence again.
You are supposed to be a tech, and know what to do next.
Go down to the bottom right, and click on Activate.
Congratulations, you're done!
(The old Windows product key you have in the Windows product key sticker, is now No Good)

However I started with -> Lucky.
Most of the time the Activation screen does not come up.
Now you need the Restoration Disk, or a new, fresh GENUINE copy of Windows, to put on the computer.

Hence why I am being so detailed.

So, you need;
1) A motherboard that has an LGA 775 processor socket

2) The motherboard chipset must be able to support, the Intel Pentium Dual Core E2220 processor you have.
Find the support page for the motherboard, then find the CPU Support page.

[CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. Another term used is Microprocessor, or simply Processor for short ]

3) Make sure the motherboard supports the DDR2 Sdram ram memory that you have.

4) You may need the Restoration Disk, or a fresh, new genuine copy of Windows.

Find some other motherboards? Post in a Comment. We'll look together at them.
Have an Intel single-core processor, and want to know if it will work?
Post back in a Comment.

it seems this might vary i have listed 4
hope this helps

OK
May I have your Model # of Parkard Bell.
What make you think that you damage your processor?

The Packard Bell iMedia D3318UK desktop computer?

If it is an iMedia D3318UK model it will have the Part Number - PV.U050Y.019 on the back of the computer tower.
(P/N PV.U050Y.019)

If this is the correct model;

Motherboard:
Made by ECS (EliteGroup Computer Systems) for Packard Bell

Packard Bell's name for the motherboard is Denver 10
It's a Micro-ATX form factor. (Size. Should be 9.6 inches by 9.6 inches, or also stated as 244mm by 244mm)

Uses the Nvidia nForce 610i Northbridge chipset
Uses the Nvidia GeForce 7050 Southbridge chipset.

(The Northbridge chipset, and the Southbridge chipset make up the motherboard chipset)

More information on Nvidia's nForce 610i chipset,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nvidia_chipsets#For_Intel_processors_2

1) Uses the LGA 775 processor socket
The processor socket has the pins, while the processor has the socket holes.

2) Has support for Pentium 4, Celeron, Core2 Duo, and Core2 Quad processors, with up to a 1066MHz Front Side Bus. (FSB)

List of Intel Core2 Microprocessors,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_microprocessors

This way you can look at the processors with a 1066MHz FSB.

I know it will support the Conroe Core, Intel processors, but can't give you factual data at the moment, whether the BIOS program on that motherboard will support Intel's Wolfdale-3M Core processors.

3) Supports (Uses) DDR2 Sdram ram memory at either 533MHz, 667MHz, or 800MHz. (PC2-4300, PC2-5300, and PC2-6400 respectively)

Has two ram memory slots, and will support up to 8GB's of ram memory.

Bear in mind that this is only with a 64bit Operating System.
Otherwise it will support up to 4GB's of ram memory with a 32bit O/S.

(Windows XP Home is a 32bit O/S. Windows XP Pro also, but there is a 64bit version. Vista also comes in a 32bit version, as well as a 64bit version. Never assume all Vista versions are 64 bit.

Note*
With a 32 bit O/S, only 3.2 to 3.5GB's of ram memory will be recognized)

4) Has one PCI Express x16 graphics slot.

This graphics slot uses the PCI Express 1.1 technology.
You can use a graphics card based on the PCI Express 2.0 technology.

PCI Express 2.0 is Backward Compatible with PCI Express 1.1

You just will not get the full capability of the PCI Express 2.0 graphics card.
Will you notice?
Doubtful.

On this page scroll down to the heading - Core, in red, and left-click on - Denver 10 Motherboard

hi i got biostar g31d-m7 motherboard dual core cpu 1 gb ram 500gb hard it wont boot just stucks in windows logo screen and cant even reinstall windows its just stucks in the booting logo

By the time you spend all that money you could have bought you a new Intel 2.8Ghz dual core processor with 4GB of RAM..keep the one you have for stuff you want to experiment with and buy yourself a new computer

to decide cpu compatability we would know the model of the motherboard.
