also do people buy new heat sink when they upgrade a processor .or some times you can get a away with not buying one.also can my bios handle these chips.also plz dont ask me to get a new pc because some chips are only 30pound thats my weekly money also any chance there would be a boost on shogun with a new chip over pentuim 4

You can reuse your old heat sink, just make sure to reapply new thermal paste. You will probably see very little improvement to your shogun game with an cpu upgrade.

I don't really know too much on Dell motherboards and their bios so can't give you a clear answer on what it can cpu it supports.
