D 820 processor upgrade

[mars99123]

Hi,

I have a older Dell XPS 200 with a D 820 processor in it and I was searching to try to find out if I could upgrade the processor to something a little faster and cooler like the D 935, does anyone know if this is possible.

Thank you.

According to this, Dells own website of all places..no, it only supports 8xx series pentium-d's.

If I were you, I would just save up cash until I could get a new pc. None of the 8XX series Pentium D processors are worth their cost over the 820 imo. The 800 series draw a lot of power and generate a lot of heat. You would get a tiny performance boost that would not be noticeable, and your power draw and heat output would increase by a decent measure.
