Dell Dimension 8400 CPU Upgrade ?

[imported_ST]

Was wondering if the Dell Dimension 8400 system will be able to upgrade to a Penitum D dual core processor? There is no upgrade information at all from Dell or otherwise. Any help is appreciated.

You tell us what motherboard it has, and we might be able to tell you.

edit: Although whether it's got a proprietary power supply, and whether or not the power supply you have in it will suffice, there's hardly any way to know ahead of time.

No.

The 925 board doesn't accept it, and Dell isn't going to modify the BIOS.

Fry's has the 805 for $99 with ecs board. But most dell boards are proprietary, not your standard atx or micro atx format. So you might have to transfer everything to a new case.
