Hi,
I have a Dell 1535 with an intel core 2 duo T5750 processor (2GHz). It's a P socket on a Dell 0F700C motherboard. I want to upgrade my processor to a minimum of 3GHz, or slightly less with some overclocking so that 3GHz is achieved.
The most promising option looks like an intel P9700 processor however I've been told that as well as having the correct socket the motherboard also needs to be able to handle the extra speed. I can find no tech specs on the dell website for my moboard. I wonder if there is another way of finding out what's the maximum speed the moboard can take?
Many thanks
