Advice on upgrading PC

Need some help. I have an old Dell Dimension V350 Pentium II system. I was wondering if it's possible to remove the old proc/mobo and replace it with a 933mhz Pentium III + mobo?

Anyone know?
 
If the motherboard is a standard AT or ATX motherboard, perhaps you can. Odds are that you will probably end up needing new memory, probably want a video card, a nicer sound card, etc etc. If you get a fast processor and dont upgrade video or memory, you will just move the bottle neck from one place to another. You may find it better to just start putting a new system together instead of patching up an older one.

Blue H. is right it would be cheaper in the long run if you could find someone that wanted your old computer or use it as a trade in for the parts you want cause once you start upgrading you are going to have a lot of parts left and old parts are not worth near as much as a computer, If you upgrade you are looking at the new main board, The processor, New memory, New heatsink and fan, Now that you have that you would want ultra 100 harddrive and you wouldn't want to run a cheap video card with that setup, See where I am going
