I have and older Alienware Area 51 that I have to replace the motherboard in. The motherboard is a Intel Desktop Board D925XCV and I wanted to try to upgrade the cpu at the same time. Now I understand that they only take P4's or P4 extremes but being new at all of this I cant find one. Those that i do find I am not so sure will work.
The product guide lists the processor as:
P4 3.4EEGHZ 2MB 800FSB LGA775 EXTREME
yet that's all Greek to me.
As I've said, i have located a number of P4's online but each time I think I've found the right one the people on The Tech support forum tell me that it's not the one I need. I though as long as it was a P4, had a Intel® 925X Express Chipset and was configured for socket 775 that would suffice.
My mind is scrambled from all of these numbers and I sure would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
