p4 and celeron
hey. I've been trying to do the same thing with my dell and everything I've found says you can as long as your mobo supports it and the cpu's take the same socket. check out wikipedia and type in your model number and see if anything come's up. I've got a Dimension B110. Check that one out just for reference. Hope it helps.
Now to my problem. I got a Dimension B110 and a Dimension 4300. I'm trying to take the dimension 4300 cpu and put it in the B110. Everything i've read says i should be able to do it. It's a p4 1.6ghz., 400hz, 478pin, ect. It supports all the technical stuff i think. Whenever i plug the power cable into the back the computer boots up on its own and the screen is just black. It says it's in a power save mode. The tower is in some power save mode too i think (an orange light on the front lights up). I've updated my bios to A01 and a lot of my drivers. Anyone know what's up? Thanks.
