veg1992 Golden Master Messages 19,993 Oct 21, 2008 #13 You can't overclock in it (unless its an H2C), but you can do other stuff
OP OP T TomPedersen Baseband Member Messages 24 Location Michigan, USA Oct 21, 2008 #14 So your pretty sure i can upgrade to a new AM2 processor?
veg1992 Golden Master Messages 19,993 Oct 21, 2008 #15 Based on what Dell says yes, but definitely not natively, flash your BIOS to the latest version

veg1992 Golden Master Messages 19,993 Oct 21, 2008 #17 Check Dell's site, they should have step-by-step on how to do it
OP OP T TomPedersen Baseband Member Messages 24 Location Michigan, USA Oct 21, 2008 #18 I went to Dell's site and they got me to Download some BIOS install thing...Made it go from 1.1.4 to 1.1.11. What now?
