I'm seeking input on upgrading my Dell Dimension 8250 processor. I
have the 2.4 MHz P4 currently. Dell tells me I can install a 3.06
upgrade for a mere $800. WOW! Why so much? Is this a hyperthreading
chipset on the board?
After that price quote, I thought about out-sourcing, but I can't find
the proper socket. Belarc Advisor tells me this is a Socket N chip! I
can't find a cross reference on Intel's site for this. Is this in fact
a socket 478 or even a 775 on this mb?
Can anyone give me some ideas about this? (Group archives search did
not reveal any answer)
