Want to upgrade my processor in my dell XPS 410

[Powerstallion]

I have a dell XPS 410 desktop with an Intel E6300 1.86 GHZ core 2 duo, and I want to upgrade to a fast CPU. I talked to dell on the phone and the told me I could go up to a Q6600 or E6700. Not sure if that true or not. Maybe that is just want they recommend. I was looking at buy an E7300 but they didnt say that was one of the compatable processors. Let me know if anyone has some input on this. Thanks

It's true.
By the way I own 3 of them.

as already stated, it is true

although i dont think the wolfdales\e7300 is compatible.

prob best to go with the Q6600 as this is a great CPU, and even better when overclocked,

check there price offer for the upgrade, but if u can get it cheaper, then get it
