it depends on your mobo, if you can use CPU-z to find out what the mobo is then you might have a chance of finding out, however it being a dell itwill have a crippled bios. Dell might have a list of suitable upgrade processors.

it should work , if the bios supports it . Do other 530 come with that cpu ? If yes then I don't see why noy . I just upgraded from a t-75-- 65mm to a x-9000 45mm with no problems , both were same bus speed and my MB and bios supported it
