well nubioso would my way work as long as he know the soket intel chip buys a new mobo ATX and a Case for ATX I believe that this will work am i correct?
 
yes would it work as long as i got a mobo that works with my procesor and is atx?

also wut is the socket? is it like the higher # the higher performance or is it like a diffrent format for Diffrent computers?
 
Socket is the white well umm...socket..that the CPU fits in..they have to be the same.

Should work with a new mobo...the CPU's aren't dell specific that I know of
 
all cpus after like p2 are ATX.... atx is the auto shut down thign... u know with like old comps where its lke its now safe to turn ur comp off... well all new computers are atx so there should be no problems.... but if u wana be safe just ring up DELL n confirm
 
Sockets can be worked out by the processor type and speed. Its pretty much always going to be accurate - Socket 478 will be a Pentium 4, so will 775 - Socket A is Athlon I believe (Athlon XP?). Just give us your processor and as much info as you can about it and I'm sure one of us will tell you the socket. The mobo might have it labled somewhere on the actual board printed in tiny letters around the processor/heatsink.
 
ok im pretty shure it says its a pentium 4;
