I inherited a Dell Inspiron 570; will this chip work in the PC? 'd like to upgrade the AMD Athlon II x2 240 that is currently running in it right now

Jeff, the question you need to confirm is what Socket is compatible with the motherboard on that computer. It has to be an AM3 socket. Then yes, you will be able to use this CPU and you will notice a major improvement in performance. I do a lot of video rendering and it cut my time in half from the Anthlon II 260 I had installed in my pc. Great CPU. I'm very pleased with it... Find it for under $100 and it's a score... Hope this helps.

Just checked, the Athlon II x2 240 is indeed AM3. This means that the x4 965 should work, unless Dell's motherboard is proprietary for some reason (90% sure it is not). This processor should be all that you need and more, even heavy gaming is easy with it. Good luck!

you will need to look at the specs for the motherboard to see what CPU's it can accept. Dell.com should have the specs.

The problem with Dells are that most motherboards are proprietary. You'll need to do some investigation into what motherboard is in your PC and what types of CPUs it can handle. Now if you can replace the motherboard along with the CPU, great. But again, Dell PCs tend to be proprietary in nature and standard motherboards don't usually fit. Good luck!

I would think so. Check the socket and make sure they match though. I suggest using the cpu cooler that comes with it or buy a better one on here (amazon). It can get quite hot especially if your gonna over clock or be gaming with it. Probably search on Google "dell inspiron 570 socket type". Sorry I'm answering your question while on the go. Hope this helps.

Given than you have an am3 slot motherboard (the shape of plug used to connect the processor) , yes. This processor will work for you. Ensure you follow proper processor replacement procedures in a static free environment. Also do not forget to replace the thermal paste, I personally use Arctic silver http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100017Hope this helps, Jayce Brinkman

If your power supply at least puts out 350 watts and ur motherboard supports AM3 CPUs then yes

As long as the computer has an AGP slot for it. If it is an older model pc with a p4 as an example it will work. Now If your pc has a pci-e slot this wont work but if it does I do recommend a radeon hd 6450 its a nice upgrade for it. If you can tell me what model PC you got or motherboard it would really help me out

I dont think you will need a BIOS update for this generation card ( 660 ) mine is installed in a 3 year old Dell Inspiron 570 and works great and I also have 4 3 year old HP computers running 5 and 6 series cards at the office.

Matt, While your motherboard does have the PCI Express graphics slot required for this card, your 300 watt power supply in the Inspiron 570 desktop will not work. You will need a power supply of at least 400 watts with a 6-pin PCI-E power connector and a minimum of 20 Amp on the +12 volt rail.

Hi John,While this 4GB module does match that PC3-10600 specification, it is not compatible with the Dell Inspiron 560 desktop. That system only supports up to 8GB using four 2GB memory modules. We no longer manufacture memory that is compatible with that desktop. Although, you might be able to find the discontinued compatible 2Gb module, KTD-XPS730BS/2G, from some online resellers.Thank you for considering Kingston ValueRAM!-Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

Most likely because it has the Intel H57 chipset. The BIOS shouldn't be locked or anything like that so you should probably have full support for this graphics card. tl;dr Yes, it will most likely work.

From what I've read online from Intel and from ASUS (My laptop) it depends on the chip set you have on your motherboard. Mine works because I have the Mobile Intel® PM45 Express Chipset +ICH9M. My advise to you would be for you to get the spec for your laptop, find the chip set information, cross-reference that with Intel, and if need be, with your manufacturer to determine if this upgrade will work. I know its a pain, trust me, I have done this with my laptop and desktop, but in both occurrences, it has been a benefit for me with no issues.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. This card will not work for the inspiron 6000. I am sorry and if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Hi, I've checked the specs online for your Dell Inspiron 1520 and it seems your laptop which that Dell model shows it being is an ( AMD ) motherboard and ( AMD ) Sempron 3600+ cpu. Only AMD cpu's will work in AMD motherboards.That ( Intel ) E8500 CPU ( WILL NOT ) work or fit in any way. Also for general knowledge laptops use special CPU's designed to fit into laptops , that E8500 Intel is a Desktop CPU and would not work even if your laptop had a Intel system in it. I hope this helps you .

Dear A. Madron, I've only done a Memory Upgrade on the Dell 8250. However it also has the Front Bus listed at 533 MHZ also with a Pent 4-2.6 GHz CPU. Here's a Link that might help you with your question. http://www.memorystock.com/memory/DellDimension8200533MHzFSB.html I don't want to aim you in the wrong direction as I'm not a fan of Dell. You can also call Dell and talk to one of their techs. FYI, if you can afford to, run the full 2 GB of Memory on your Dell. I ran 4/184 pin DDR-II PC-800 Rambus Sticks, but spent the extra money and bought four sticks of the PC-1066 / 4-512s. Much faster than the PC-800 Non ECC,(Error Correcting), RIMM Memory, especially with the 8250 having to use Dial-Up for the Web! I got stuck with the Dell 8250 as it was my cousin's, and it took a dive. I bought the Dell Memory from Amazon, but it originally came from a Company in CA called "Link Tronics". They also carry tons of hard to find Memory Sticks and have the answers to a lot of questions about compatibility. You can also call Crucial Memory in Idaho, everything they make is made in the USA! Sorry I couldn't be of more help....... Good Luck.

i'm not sure if it will i did use it in a dell but prior to use i ran a scan for which type of ram chip but going through crucial.com and downloading their scanner to figure out which chip set to use

Yes. I beleive it would work. You should have a PCI express slot. I have an optiplex 780 and it would work in mine.

The only validated CPUs I can find listed are Pentium 4. Research in the Dell community indicates a Pentium D will work in your machine, but will require Bios A11 update, the last bios available for your machine. The community suggests it can take up to a Pentium D 960, but I would be leery of that, because it is a whole different structure and TDW. You never know until you try, and my E510 made great strides when upgraded from Pentium A to Pentium D. Remember the bios upgrade must be applied before replacing the processor.

Hey Bob.I don't know the specs on your Dell, but if it's a 4x or 8x AGP slot, the card should work.I was using it on an old Asus mobe that was serving as a Hackintosh.I never got OSX 10.6.8 to give me full accelerated graphics, but the card was recognized just fine. Let me know how it goes.God bless.RKB

I have this card installed in a few Dell OptiPlex computers. Works Great. DDR3 refers to the memory on the video card not the computer.You should have no problems.

Yes, I upgraded a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop (Celeron 2.0 GHz 440 processor, 2 gig DDR2 667Mhz RAM, 250 GB harddrive) with a step above this card: MSI HD 6570 and it worked quite well with stock OEM Dell power supply.

I am not certain. You should go to Dell Support. Enter the service tag number of your computer and then check for upgrade parts. If the description of their memory upgrade is the same as this one then you can do it. For me, Dell wanted $59.99 for this same memory. This one is exactly the same as theirs. You need to match these numbers: DDR2800/PC26400 DDR2 SDRAM 240pin DIMM
