Dimension 4500 Processor Upgrade
I was just recently given a P4 2.8 /1MB/533 processor and would like to know if this would work in my machine. What I question is whether or not the L2 cache of 1 MB in this processor would be a problem ? The specs from the manual are below .

The 4500 845E chipset, supports both Socket 478 400MHz and 533MHz processors up to 3.06GHz @ 533MHz
It does not support P4 Prescotts with a 1mb cache.

You are welcome.
The Dimension 8300 motherboard [ make certain that you get the tray with the motherboard ] should support a Prescott, but you may need to upgrade the BIOS version BIOS A04 or later.
