im currently running on a dell dimension C521 and was wondering if this CPU would work on my motherboard at system BIOS v1.1.11

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103235

this is the computer, cant find anything on the actual motherboard

ive heard of other people getting a 2.6 GHz athlon 64 x2 to work fine, but im not so sure.

PS im not looking for reccomendations. just please state a yes or no, and possibl define why
 
Would he see much of an increase in processing power upgrading from an Athlon 4000 Dual-Core to an Athlon 5400 Dual-Core processor? In my opinion I don't think so.

Are you sure his motherboard would also support the Athlon 5400 processor? Dell computers don't upgrade well when it comes to switching processors.
