Hello,
At the moment, I have a Dell Dimension E520 with an Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 processor. What Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Quad processors are compatible with the Dell Dimension E520?

Prior to installing the processor, check that the BIOS version 2.4.0 is installed, when support for new processors was added.
Note: Only 65 nm processors with 800 or 1066fsb will work with the E-520.

It is not practical or economical to change processors on such an old model. You would be limited to very old cpu's that would not make a noticeable difference in performance. Save the money and put it towards a new computer.
