Maybe people are struggling because you have not told them what the new board is........to start with.

ok, according to this website, your dell came with a socket 478 motherboard. now i cant tell you for sure if your new processor is the same socket, but if it is, then it could work. there might be some compatibility issues with the core type and the FSB speed (note that website) but since i dont know exactly what chip you have, i cant be certain. edited on Jun. 10, 2006 11:15 am by sdogg45

It should be fine. You may need to update the bios to recognise it though.
