Dan,
Smithfield Pentium D 830 (3Ghz)
The XPS G5 does not support Core 2 Duo.
Pentium 4 single core, or Pentium D processors only.
Prior to installing, check that you have the latest BIOS version A04 installed.
Bev.

Smithfield or Pressler Pentium D 960.
Intel Pentium D 820 - HH80551PG0722MN / BX80551PG2800FN / BX80551PG2800FT
Intel Pentium D 915 - HH80553PG0724MN / BX80553915 / BX80553915R
I would avoid the 130W parts like the plague.
I see the 3.0 Ghz parts on ebay for $10 sometimes. BIOS SHOULD BE UPDATED BEFORE trying to change the CPU.
Intel Pentium D 945 SL9QQ 3.40GHz/4M/800 item# SKU 1159396
