E310

it will work... all those cpu's are very alike

The Intel 915GV has a TDP of 115 watts, whereas the Intel 521 2.80 has a TDP of 84 watts.

Take this into consideration when you are doing any further upgrades. Dell rates their PSUs for continuous power, and this is good.

You should see a nice jump in performance especially if you have the full 2 GBs of 533-MHz DDR2 memory.

From what I can find your motherboard will support up to the Pentium 4 640. So the 672 is out. A 2.8Ghz to 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 will NOT be an upgrade you would notice. For less than $200 you can get a CPU, Motherboard and RAM that will run circles around any Pentium 4.

As for the 2gb ram upgrade:

Dell Specifications States Max Ram 2GB, with this exception.......      

Each slot can have a Max of 2gb for a total of 4gb...    

I run Corsair's XMS2 4gb 2x2gb DDR2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5C G

Also I run wth /PAE Physical Address Extention enabled [36bit addressing ] add to BOOT.INI

In System Properties:
Also I run with Performance Option's:
Visual Effect's: Let windows choose what's best for my computer.
Processor Scheduling: Background Services.
Memory Usage: System Cache.
Virtual Memory: System Managed Size.

Under Windows Services: All Services are Enabled as Automatic and Started
Windows Determines if a Service is Required or not, if not required it stop's it.

Very Alike Don't mean it will work....        

Comparison of 521, 640, 662, 672 is @@@@@@
