| Which processor to replace old P4 Prescott? I have an old Dell GX280 with the CG815 motherboard. According to Dell, it came with a P4 Prescott 2.8Ghz LGA775 1MB L2 800Mhz FSB. However, Dell is not so great for getting information, such as which processors are supported by this motherboard. So what's the fastest processor I can get to replace this old one? 3.4Ghz? 3.6Ghz? 1 or 2MB L2? Thanks in advance for your help. |

| Re: Which processor to replace old P4 Prescott? This is probably your best bet. (If they actually have them in stock) SuperBiiz.com - Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz 800MHz 478pin 512KB CPU, OEM |

| Re: Which processor to replace old P4 Prescott? I appreciate the reply, but that listing is for a 478-pin processor. Mine is a 775. The cache size seems small, too. |

If the BIOS aren't able to recognize a higher processor----it probably won't work to upgrade regardless if the chip fits the socket..... Maybe one of the BIOS guys on the forum can help.... EDIT: maybe this thread will help: Dell Optiplex GX280 Upgrade Question
