Dell gx300 Optiplex dual processor, VRM needed.

[Rally1]

We've got a couple Dell gx300s at work, each with a PIII 800. The MB they use has dual slots. So I can snag the PIII out of one, and pop it in the other machine, giving it a fighting chance.

But i need to track down a "VRM" (voltage regulator module) to allow both processors to run, here's the board layout

I just cant find a VRM, is it going to be a Dell specific part, or is it a generic item?

Thanks.

I got a VRM from Dell for my Poweredge 1400 SC. It is a Dell specific item. Just call Dell. Ask for the spare parts department. Tell them you need a VRM (I'll bet money the person on the phone doesn't know what it is) and give them the model number and preferably the serial number. Mine cost like $20 shipped.
