Hey Just a Random little Question
Can i Replace a CPU with the Same Model only bigger without any ~issues~
Cuz i have a PC now with a P4 2Ghz what i would like to Replace with a P4 3Ghz(Seems 2ghz isnt quite enough..lol)
Both are the Same Socket and both are P4.

That right?


***EDIT***
Okay so its a 400MHZ FSB on the board.
That means NO 3Ghz P4 With HT....it 800Mhz FSB

Max i can use is a 2.2Ghz P4
Or 2.6Ghz Celeron

That means a new MOBO which because its a Dell will cost more.
You might think of upgrading memory as this will help with your speed a little.
Go HERE to see the specs on your MOBO.
It looks like you can max out memory at 2 gigs total memory

Not sure what you mean by Useable
I have XP Pro with 2 gigs of memory and it sees and uses what ever it needs.
If you want to go above 4 gigs of memory you will need to go to Vista 64 bit as a 32 bit OS can only utilize 3.5 gigs at best.
