Optiplex GX280 Processor Upgrade
Hi there,
I know that there have been many questions on this topic.. but in all the ones I have read, I have not been able to find a clear awnser to it..
My question is which Intel Pentium 4 LGA775 socket processors are supported by the GX280 BIOS rev. A08?
More specifically is the Intel® Pentium 4 Processor 561 sSpec Number: SL8J6 supported? ( http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8J6 )..
My hopes are that by the end of this discussion other people who read this thread have a clear knowledge of exactly which processors are supported...
Thanks!

Just to clarify.. I am trying to buy either of the following processors (not from Dell but off a general computer store):
Processor 560
" " 560J
" " 561
" " 570J
" " 571
I am more interesting in the 561 and above processors as the 57x series have a 3.8Ghz speed (a 1Ghz increase to what I currently have)...
So do the 5x1 series work with the GX280? I ask this because they use Intel® EM64T technology and in the fine print: Intel® EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS.
So does the GX280 rev. A08 have this EM64T capability?
Thanks for the help so far! :)

You can find out the Processor model by getting a small free program from www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php called CPU-Z ... it should give you all the info you need!
I would still like confirmation from someone who has a 660J, 661, 670J or 671 Intel P4 Processor installed...
as far as the memory goes the GX280 can handle up to 4gb.. right now I have 4x 512mb Kingston ValueRam DDRII 533mhz and am loving the speed of it! :) My Vista Experience Index is at 4.1 only cause of the processor other wise it would be a 5.5 average...
Not sure about your DVDRW drive there... in fact I didn't know optical drives came with SATA connection.. I use an LG DVDRW (one of those super-multi drives that handle read/write of CDs and DVDs) but is on an IDE connection...
