XPS 410 Processor Upgrade (Dual to Quad)

DeJecTus · 05-13-2008, 06:53 PM

Does any one know if you can upgrade the processors for the Dell XPS410? I've looked on their website and tried to match some stuff up but couldn't do it. I don;t even know how to do it really, just trying to learn more about computers.

I currently have an Intel E6600 Core 2, I went on Newegg and found an Q6700 Quad Core and wondered if it would work.

Oh, and would I need to buy a better cooling system or could I use the stock one from Dell? Thank You

The intel E6600 runs on a 1066FSB the quad you referenced is a 1333mhz FSB cpu ...... so, no that wont work

you could run the Q6600 if your dell bios will allow it ?????

Thanks, I should try looking a little harder on my own before I ask next time. I'll contact Dell to see if it will work. Thanks again.
