Alright community, please be nice to me as this is my first post and I am not too familiar with replacing and upgrading CPU's.
Anyway, here is the problem/question:
My desktop I have now in my dorm is a (HP h8-1110)
Current HP Desktop
that I installed a new power supply and graphics card to last year. It still has stock cpu.
CPU IS: Intel(R) core i5-2400 CPU @3.10GHz
The question is whether this CPU is compatible with a Dell Inspiron 530
Dell Inspiron 530 intel pentium OYK196
that is an older model definitely, and I think it ultimately comes down to the connections on the socket with the stock motherboard of the Inspiron as well as if it will fit within the case, which should be fine if I'm not mistaken?
I am also thinking of upgrading the i5 in my desktop now to an i7 quadcore this season by trying to snag a good deal through newegg.
ie: Intel Quadcore i7
So this is another questions in itself whether or not this processor will fit into my current desktop system.
I would appreciate an answer to whether or not the i5 I have now will fit into my older dell inspiron, if I need a new motherboard to support it, and what the general cost would be to see if its even worth it. (Possibly a link would help here)
Oh, and also dumb question as to whether or not I would have to upgrade the power supply?
Thanks a lot for your time and saving me hassle,
Dan
