Forum CPU & Components : CPUs CPU Upgade

Hi
I've got a Dell Dimension 3100 with a Celeron D 346 processor.
Can I upgrade the CPU to this :

Intel Celeron E3300 Socket 775 2.5GHz 1MB L2 Cache

Here's the webpage:

Will I be able to upgrade to this CPU without upgrading other parts of my pc? Any advice will be much appreciated.

I don't think that the motherboard in your comp will support that new processor. Here is the specs of the Dimension 3100 on dells website.

You have a very early LGA775 motherboard with a P915 chipset. I believe the best processor you can run is a Pentium 4 640. It will handle all the P4 5xx and 6xx series. Find one for cheap on ebay or save money for a new system. I would not spend too much on upgrading. Pretty much obsolete at this point.
