Can the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Quad-Core Processor, 2.83 GHz, 12M L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB, LGA775 be used on the Dell Precision 390? If so, are there any special concerns that need to be addressed?
Here is some info on the Dell 390: http://www.dell.com/downloads/glob [...] 390_en.pdf

I currently have a P4 in one machine and would like to upgrade. I have another Dell 390 with a Q6600 Core 2 Quad.

THANKS!

It has a 975 chipset and I believe that chipset only supports processors up to 1066FSB like the Q6600 you mentioned.
