I have a Dell 07n90w and currently it works fine with Intel's E8400. I want to upgrade my processor to Q8300 but I'm not sure if it will work on a 07n90w mobo. I have read the mobo's manual that it supports Core2Quad since it's socket supports LGA775 but I just want to make sure that everything will work fine before I buy the Q8300.

Thanks to your response but my model number is 07n90w. I don't know what you mean "look up the CPU support list" as I have said it only support core2quad but I don't know if the Q8300 would actually work on it.

I've Googled that number, but all that comes up is motherboards: https://www.google.com/search?q=07n90w&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=eh5FVZ-qJMKfNvjsgOgK&ved=0CB4QsAQ&biw=1920&bih=946#imgrc=_
Is your Dell a Vostro 230 or 230s by any chance? That model used the 07n90w board, I believe. If so, this discussion may be helpful.
