It depends on who you bought the machine from. I have several Dells and you
can often upgrade to faster processors by changing a jumper or 2 on the
motherboard. You will not be able to upgrade from a pentium/pentiumPro/P2
to a P3; they have different connectors. Check the website for the company
you bought the machine from or call their tech support.

Subject: Upgrading CPUs
Dear Group,
The last few years, I've been using a P233 MMX computer as my main
trading computer. I recently acquired a P3/500, and it has turned out
to be signficantly better --- surprise!
Its success has now led me to ask if I can upgrade my P233 MMX computer
simply by buying and installing a new CPU for it, for example, a P3/500
or a Celeron 400? Is this doable or would I be looking at also having
to buy and install a new Motherboard as well? Or what would I have to
do to upgrade my P233 to something more like my P3/500? If anyone has
any experience with this, I would appreciate hearing about it from you.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Richard Josslin
