I've got a 10-year-old Dell Dimension 4600 and am wondering whether this CPU will work in it -- and whether it's a worthwhile upgrade. I ran Intel's Processor Identification Utility and this is what it reports: Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility...

Yes. I have the same computer and put one of these in it. It will make a big difference in performance overall. This is the fastest P4 that you can get. Put this in and get as much ram as the 4600 will take(4 or 8gigs I cant remember). These old processors are still good ones.

It is special memory for the Dell Dimension 8100 for the RDRAM mother board 5E692 05E692 with the socket 423. As far as I know

Memory *should* work in this model, although it has not been tested specifically by Dell. As with any laptop, manufacturers sometimes configure hardware to be very specific. Go ahead and try these sticks. You might have to go into the bios and manually configure speed, timing, etc. Worst case is that your laptop won't boot but it shouldn't harm anything.

HI. Good question. Not knowing the answer I tried doing a google search and was able to find an explanation at https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-architecture-and-processor-identification-with-cpuid-model-and-family-numbers?language=ru Hope this helps. Respectfully, Roland

I installed mine in a 4 year old Dell Studio 550, no bios upgrade was necessary. You may want to check the manufacture's web site and see if you have the latest bios update for your machine. Even if you do not have the latest update it may not matter as the bios update may not address any cpu issues.

looks the same to me they both take DDR2 PC2-6400, NON-ECC, but Here is one you might consider 2GB kit (1GBx2) Upgrade for a Dell Dimension 4700 at this link 2GB kit (1GBx2) Upgrade for a Dell Dimension 4700 Series System (DDR2 PC2-6400, NON-ECC, )

That's hard to say. I have an Intel motherboard, so I went to Intel's website to find the fastest CPU my motherboard would handle. You could perhaps try to contact Dell customer support and ask them.

I would check HP and see if they have a list of compatible cpu if its on there list then ya hp dell boards have real narrow cpu support on there main boards

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.

Assuming that your current card is the one specified in the info I found on Dell's site (Intel Centrino N 1030), which is the same form factor as this card, it should work. However, I know Intel will suggest contacting Dell to make sure of compatibility as some hardware doesn't play nicely with others.For the most part, I think you'll be fine as the card you have isn't radically dissimilar.

Sorry no you would have to find a model with that upgrade or you may contact dell for a custom build pc

The "Tusi" answer is probably correct. I bought mine from "Ken's Computer shop" and they were able to respond specifically that it would work in my Dell Dimension E310. I couldn't find the info in email -- maybe the guy responded in an online forum or on the phone.

It's hard to pinpoint precisely, but considering you have a socket 775 motherboard, I'm guessing the rest of the hardwareis a bit dated too. You will get a speed bump, not a major one. If you couple that cpu upgrade with a SSD hard drive, thenyou will notice the difference.

the third version is out now 4th gen intel core i3 directly from dells website,ur lucky if you still havn't bought this kind get the third edition from dell.

I checked the Intel site and it that board does not appear to support that processor check http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/cs-012668.htm

I'm not sure of the vintage of the 4600, but I'm using it on a Dell Optiplex 270 without issue. I did find a newer driver online than the one that came in the package, however. Hope that helps.

I don't know. I put it in an old Dell Dimension 4500. You should look up the specs on your motherboard and if it says it is compatible.
