ok, i have a dell dimention 2400, purchased october 2003. *sigh*
i want to upgrade my graphics but i know the dimention 2400 has only a pci slot, so im planning to buy a new mobo for my computer with a pci-e slot and a pci-e graphics card
a friend says that my cpu, which i plan to take out of my current mobo and replace into my new mobo, is a socket 478 cpu.
is there any way to verify that? and is it easy to take out a cpu from a mobo?
also are there any other compatability issues i need to asses or look out for? Lastly, im not sure if my case is a large ATX tower, or mini-atx or what? i i measure it, can i give you guys the measurments and would you be able to tell me?
thanks a lot.
also, please dont flame me for have a dell, or a 2400 or not getting another computer or anything.
i was planning untill now to get a new computer, but i decided that this would be much cheaper.
