Dell ORY007 = Intel ? e8400 instead of e2160

Does anyone know how I can tell what Intel mobo # deignation equates to a Dell ORY007, which apparently Intel manufactured for Dell. I'm just trying to verify if I can swap out the E2160 Conroe of the refurb. 530s, for an E8400, or anything faster than the 2160, for audio/music applications, until I can afford a purpose built DAW. Dell of course gave me their disclaimer.



I used CPUID and it gave the following info:

Intel Pentium E2160 Conroe Scoket 776 LGA,

"Technology" 65nm. Core Voltage 1.168V

1.8GHz

Motherboard Manufacturer: Dell Inc. Model ORY007

Chipset Intel P35/G33/G31 Rev. A2

Southbridge Intel 82801IR (ICH9R)

LPCIO: ITE IT8718

BIOS:

Brand: Dell Inc.
Version: 1.0.10
Date: 12/15/2007

So it looked like G33 chipset, however it showed Dell as the mobo manuf. not Intel, which Dell did verify as the manuf. So, I just wanted to dbl. check via the actual Intel mobo #, before I laid out the $


And, if I need a bios update for the board as well, how does one go about that - I assume from Intel?


Thanks, from a computer user since 1987, that never got into the nuts and bolts
