XPS 700 Processor Upgrade
Hello all, I've been trying to find out what processors are compatible with my XPS 700 with mixed results. I bought the unit used and previous owner never did the free upgrade to the 720 motherboard so I know quad cores are out :emotion-6: What I'm trying to figure out is if the E8400 Wolfsdale will work in my system, I believe it should since it's LGA 775 but I've heard from a few people that the original XPS 700 motherboard may not be able to handle the new 45nm process chips. Is anyone running this chip on an XPS 700 without the motherboard upgrade or does anyone know for sure if this chip is compatible? If not what am I restricted to for choices?
Thanks in advance for the help :emotion-1:

Well the processor that I have QX6850 is "G0" stepping so that eliminates that but you are right about the FSB XPS 700 supports slower bus speed but as much as i know i am stupid with that stuff that the processors operate automatically at slower bus speeds since the bus is uptill 1333mhz it can operate below that as well

Hi -- does anybody recommend a good place to find a new/refurbished Q6600 CPU? And, lastly, does anyone know where I can order another hard drive enclosure (the plastic brackets on each side)? I only have 3 of the 4.
