Would i be able to replace my 500mhz p3 chip in a 2 year old dell system with a p3 800e 100fsb chip? I'm not sure what kind of mobo is in the dell, i only know it runs at 100fsb, so i'm not sure, but i'd like to put a faster processor in there and maybe a new video card to make it last a while longer.

Just to be safe, I would check your support page on Dell if you still have your service tag number. There you will find specs on your board and what it is capable of. Dell has Intel manufacture boards for them, so its tough to tell what boards they are, though the chipset is easier to come by. You really can't do much else like add a new PSU or whatnot bcs Dell's boards are so propietary. Good Luck! :D
