Ram prices keep going up; I would try a different cpu first. To be safe, use the older 800 or 1066 cpus such as the e4500 or e6400. I've seen some used for sale at anandtech's "for sale" forum. Be sure to get a heatsink with it; your old celeron heatsink is too small for faster cpus. Dell normally won't give you much help for cpu upgrades. It's a crapshoot, but I doubt the .45 nm wolfdale's will work (such as the e5400). For confirmation, post this in one of the dell forums.
