Its not hooked up so was in hopes that some one could give me an answer or tell me how to find out. I know it does have an intel processor now but thats about all I know without firing it up and looking.
Well, I feel stupid. took about 5 minutes to look it up and find out it will work. I figured it would be hours. So, my next question is the celeron is a 3.2 and the one in the dell is a pentium 4 2.4. Would it be worth changing for the sake of speeding it up or would it not be worth the time and effort. I have changed processors quite a few times but always replaced them with the same. Dont know all that much about speed gains and such between the two. Thanks.
Some Celeron D versions do work with the 4600 , the one your mention however is a LGA 775 type and the motherboard for a 4600 is socket 478 . You will need to go on the hunt for an early prescott ( celeron D was prescott ) which was in the 478 package , this cpu will have pins on the underside where the 775 doesnt. If you want to speed up the system look for a cpu with a higher FSB ie the 800 FSB of the hyperthread models. The prescott also had SSE3 , check your software for support if its worth the change or not. Otherwise go for a high end Northwood 3.0/800/512 or similar .
