HERE is your system specs.

Looks like you could go with a E6600

 

Jaaack

 

See if the discussion HERE can help.

Bev.

Thank you very much for your responses. :D

 

shesagordie, i followed your link and it mentions the Dimension E520 motherboard has a LGA775 socket?

I presume this means that any processor that uses that socket will be compatable with my desktop?

(Is there anything else that has to be compatable for a new processor?)

 

Thanks.

No, not all the LGA775 processors are compatible, there are many other factors to take into consideration, besides the socket size.

 

Bev.

Any chance you could tell me what other factors i must take into consideration?

(or should that be a new thread alltogether?)
