No Dual core anything, Single core, Socket 478 P4 only.

The Socket 478, 3.06/533/512k P-4 is the fastest processor you can use for the Optiplex 270 

Prior to installing the processor, check that BIOS version A07 is installed, when support for newer processors was added.

Would you be able to link me to a processor to buy? Still having no luck.

eBay is a good place to locate and buy obsolete processors.

Note, All Mobile Socket P4 processors, cannot be installed, as they are not compatible.

Well I have been looking into AMD Processors what is the best AMD Processor I could buy for my computer?

That really sucks because I really like AMD, if it comes down to it I may buy a new mother board. Depending on how things go with this new processor I just bought.

Good luck with the upgrade.
