Pentium 4 EE to Core 2 Duo
I have Dell XPS GEN 4 with a Pentium 4 EE and wish to upgrade the
processor. Is it possible to change to Core 2 Duo without upgrading the motherboard? Both CPUs are socket T(775 pins) and 266 MHz FSB.

At the very least you'll probably need a BIOS update, it might not be possible at all depending on when your motherboard was built.

Even if your mainboard uses one of these chipsets it may well need a bios upgrade to install the latest mc updates to support c2d cpus. -- Cheerz - Brownz http://www.brownz.org/ Thank you for the info and link. CPU-Z provides that the current chip set is i925X Rev. B1 and Southbridge 82801FB(ICH6). If I'm reading the chart correctly it does not appear that the motherboard will support the Core 2 Duo. Is this correct?
