What idiot said " the few hundred that e8600 will cost you"? They're $40 on amazon & ebay all day long, and a great upgrade for older systems. That being said, it's probably not compatible with the motherboard of user who posted the original question. Also, There's no such thing as "5GHz RAM". You should google the specs of your particular motherboard to see if this chip is compatible (as a drop-in replacement for a P4), but most likely it is not. I would recommend looking for a faster P4 chip, as I recall they made them up to 3.8GHz and 2MB cache, with HyperThreading. That type of chip would probably be a good upgrade for your particular system. What idiot said " the few hundred that e8600 will cost you"?

your first problem is that your running 5 gigahertz of ram.chances are you running ddr2 and you need an even number of RAM. Just because you have the same socket for the processor doesn't mean your motherboard will support it.there's something called Google it's there for your help

Yes this is definitely an upgrade to the pentium d series and it does fit in an 775 lga socket. If you don't already have it, you may also want to pick up a small tube of thermal paste as well. There's no guarantee your motherboard can work with this processor though, even though it fits. You'll have to check against the motherboards manual to be absolutely certain, but the odds are in your favor.

The e6700 is a 2 core processor that fits the 775 socket. This particular processor is 2.6GHz where your current processor is 3.4GHz so just swapping the two would not be an upgrade. After a quick search I found a site that recommended the Core 2 Duo E8400 over your current processor. Bear in mind that you probably would not notice a change in speed, even with that processor, as it's a lateral shift from one to the other in power. I would recommend checking some tech sites for what your motherboard can handle before making a final decision. You'll need to know your computer model, motherboard, etc to get a solid answer. Hope this helps!

Emily .. No this processor will NOT work with your machine.. your machine uses socket AM2 and the stock processor you got with it was about 10 years out of date when you purchased it. E machines are basically JUNK .. they take old obsolete components and build machines that are obsolete by about 5- 10 years and sell them to un suspecting customers as "budget machines" for a premium price. You should avoid ever buying one again .. you would be better off buying a bare bones system on Ebay. You need a FX board for this processor.. if you are interested I could help you with building a machine.. Emily ..

Hi, an Intel Celeron 450 seems to take a singular cpu socket 775, But depending on when your motherboard bios was installed you may or maynot need to do a Bios upgrade to enable it to support the either the Intel E-8400 Core dueo or the e-8500 Both are duel core cpus and both are very fast. I've owned both of them . they can even play many newer games very well , not counting how powerful your Video card is or not. To be sure on changing out your cpu I would strongly suggest contacting Dell to verify if the cpu upgrade your thinking of doing is possible, Dell support should have no problem giving you this information.Best of luck with doing your upgrade.

I bought the 3.4 ghz chip. Installed and when system boots I get an error that the current chip isn't compatible. If I continue the PC runs and faster. Think the problem is that the chip 3.4 ghz is dual CPU. E520 bios doesn't support a dual CPU chip. Just my thoughts.

no you cant install this processor. please dont spend money trying to upgrade this machine because it's kinda obsolete. the best you can do is buy a new pc a $300 desktop will work 6x more faster than your PC.

yes it can work in that board but why would you want to use a single core processor, when you can get a e84oo dual core cpu running at 3.02 mhz dirt cheap?

The i7-950 is not on the list of supported processors. The socket is the same but I wouldn't chance it. This board is tricky enough even with supported hardware.

it should be fine based on what you have connected/installed. if its the base hardware and one of the lower powered cpu's that came with the manufacturer.

best I can say I installed into 2 systems upgrading to windows 7 32-bit for the aero performance worked well the cpu was e6600 in both systems and worked fine for what I needed hope this info helps

No because that has a socket LGA 775 which is different than what you need for an i7 which is a Socket LGA1366

i replace pentium dual core 1.8 for core 2 duo 3.06, in socket 775, is best machine...

That will depend on Dell's bios. The CPU is compatible with any socket 775 MB that has a bios that with the CPU id inserted.

Best ask that question on another site... research the "socket type" and other specs and compare the two components. Example : that server CPU is LGA775 per my research... E8400 is as well so it will most likely work but may void the warranty! Also note the E8400 is my favorite E-Series CPU... can handle 4+GHz overclocks on AIR without much effort. Will match an i3 on the bench.
