DIMENSION E520 compatible cpus
Hi everybody, I've been trying to find out exactly which cpu's are compatible with this dimension e520 model as I want to upgrade, but I 've been having trouble with it.
(Pentium D 2.80Ghz currently installed)
For instance, the dell website says these are compatible:
Intel® Pentium® 4
Intel® Pentium® D
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo
<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>
But today, I tried a Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E7500 , and it did n't work, ie fans turned on but no post (cpu is fine took back to shop they tested it then i re-installed old cpu)
I know that some people have installed e6600 & q6600 & q6700 cpus but now they are quite old and more expensive.
Please,
does anyone know, or know where, I can find a complete list of compatible cpus for this machine?
Help!
:)
