Dell Dimension C521 Processor Upgrade
Hi, what are the prossesors that i can put into this computer i upgraded the psu to a 600watt one and the video card to an ati radeon 4350 so i could play sims i would like to upgrade so that in the future i wont have any conflicts playing. I was looking into processors and i saw this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103286&cm_re=am2%2b-_-19-103-286-_-Product but thats am2+ and i dont know if i can use it in my socket am2 motherboard. Can I only use socket am2 processors.. Could someone post a list of processors i can put into this computer? Thank You in advance!

Here is a short list of processors that are known to work with the C521:
The following is a list of processors that some people have gotten to work, but others haven't:
Ok the Windsors are known to work, but are no longer made. eBay is about the only place they can be found. The Brisbanes are still in disbribution at some retailers, but like I said not everyone has gotten them to work. They were release long after the last BIOS update for the C521/E521.
None of the newer processors are compatible with the C521/E521, such as the one in your link. Although most AM2+ processors are backwards compatible the BIOS for the C521/E521 does not recognize them.
