I inherited a Dell 2400 w/ Celeron 2.7 Ghz. The Dell spec sheet says this comp came with this or a P4 processor.
It runs XP Pro just fine, but I want to up the performance and make this usable as a third comp running Vista HP. I can max out at 2 Gb ram, but more importantly I am looking at replacing the CPU with a P4.
Problem is I have no idea which P4 this would take. I assume it is a socket 478.
If anyone has one of these can you tell me what it would accept for a CPU.
Also, I MAY update the onboard video, but it only has PCI. Are there any decent older PCI recommendations?
Finally, before I get flamed on this, I intend to use it solely as a media extender to my Q2Q which has Vista Media Center set up with a TV tuner/PVR.
