I have a Dell Optiplex cx100 with an intel celeron processor with only 495 mhz. I am trying to find out how to install a new processor on my computer. I can't find any info on how to install, or what it looks like in my machine ( I know there are a lot of different kinds) some of them plug into the motherboard,and some of the old ones had to be sautered in (is what i'm told) but i have no idea what mine does. Please, any help would be appreciated!

well do you know your motherboard name?i cant tell you by taht but one thing 4 sure your motherboard is a old intel celeron and pentium 2 motherboard which means you cant go over a pentium 2 processor about 500mhz evwen if you tried to plug one in pentiium 3 and 4s are usaly flip chips (square ones with 100's of pins) while pentium1/2 and older celerons are cartridge chips,sorry but still need ur motherboard name to tell 4 sure!

Well my husband bought the computer for me and I don't know how to tell what my motherborad is. If you can tell me how to get the name of it I would really appreciate it. It sounds like I'm going to have to get a new motherboard though. With a faster processor, do I need a more powerful fan, or maybe another one? Thank you so much for your help so far.

if you get a program called cpuz and run it it will tell you in the mainboard tab what brand and model motherboard and you would need better cooling but you get the more powerrfull fan with the cpu if you buy a new one but thats all later now you need to see what name and serial ur motherboard is so you can be sure there isnt anyhting you can upgarde. downlaod cpuz and find the mainboard tab at the top and post back the name and serial or the problem oyu ran into

Sensor: ITE E411 Version: A04

you can upgarde slighly as its a flip chip motherboard that supports up to only 1ghz pentium3/celeron at max if you want to go any higher you will have to buy a new motherboard like an intel i915 or i945 chipsets which support pentium 4 and latest graphics but if oyu want to go to the new core 2 processor i dnt know any motherboards but for the core 2 it is very very pricey!

thank you for your help, I feel really clueless when it comes to this, but what would my processor speed be if I upgraded to a pentium 3. right now it is only 495 mhz. if i upgraded to a pentium 3, would my processor be a lot faster? Do you know how I install it? Thank you sooooo much for all of your help. I am learning a lot from you.

that 495mhz cpu is actually a 500mhz. that is the same as a p3 except bus speed of 133 or cache. is the cpu on a square socket on the motherboard or on an upright card in a slot? what is the asset number posted on the screen before going into windows or in the bios?

I am converting a movie right now, so I can't restart my computer to check on the asset #, but I will as soon as it finishes. Also, I just installed a bigger hard drive as my slave and when I had my computer open, I was trying to find it but I don't know what it looks like or where it would be located. can you help me with that? I read something that says you have to take the fan off and it will be behind it, but I don't see how.

really a pentium3 is nothing today so i dont really see why to upgrade only to a 1ghz and you wont feel much difference + you can only find pentium 3s on ebay or some other 2nd hand place

When I buy the pentium 4 motherboard, does it come with the processor, or is that something I have to buy seperate?

Why not just buy a whole new computer you are anway gonna change everything from the cpu to even the case depending what from atx or micro atx ur motherboard will be, i agree with Estuansis 95 is very poor for cpu support but i dnt even think your 500mhz pc uses it but for a pentium 4 the best is xp especially if your pc is gonna be high tech inside then shabby operating system LOL!

In that case... here's a case(pun not intended):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811166030
A bit flashy but I use it and it's good and sturdy. It keeps my PC very cool and quiet. Go for it.
From what I can tell you do video work like conversion and such so the setup I have prescribed should do the trick. It'll doo conversions and such in a fifth of the time and feel much zippier in general. Unless you have some proprietary Dell CD drive you should be able to recycle that and the hard drive.
Building your own computer is much cheaper and more fulfilling than buying from OEM dealers like Dell, HP, and Gateway. I have built two of my own and completely rebuilt a Dell Dimension 3000. (To see them check out my user profile)
You'll almost always get something much faster than what you would have gotten from the stores for the same or a lower price.

thank you guys. I'm going to check out the links and see what I can do. I appreciate all the help, I'm learning a lot about computers. I do a lot of conversions and movies and such, and I know a lot about that type of stuff, but the motherboard and processor....not so much! lol

for the fun of it,i will post this..

ncludes Tower, Monitor and Printer
? 256MB memory
? 80GB hard drive
? Reads & Writes CDs

Office Depot to offer $99 PC with $99 shipping
The bargain season for back-to-school shopping begins next week, but read the fine print.
Office Depot will sell a Hewlett-Packard desktop PC complete with a CRT monitor and printer for $99. The bundle, which typically sells for $429, involves a $100 in-store instant rebate and four mail-in coupons.
The offer is good from Sept. 3 through 9.
Still, you have to have the machine shipped, and shipping comes to $99.
On the flip side, consumers don't need to sign up for new Internet service as part of the deal. Other companies and stores have offered $99 computers before, but these deals often required consumers to buy a year's worth of AOL dial-up service or open an account with some other Internet service provider.
Do customers come out for these deals? Yes. In December 2005, CompUSA offered a $149 Toshiba laptop and a $99 Compaq desktop after discounts. The retailer sold 7,500 of the notebooks in two hours, or 2.5 notebooks a minute. (To get these deals, consumers had to subscribe to AOL for a year.)
September is one of the key months for PC manufacturers and retailers. The third quarter is typically the second-biggest sales season of the year because of back-to-school buying. A significant portion of the PCs bought in the third quarter are sold during its last two weeks. Some pinpoint the end of the dot-com era to September 2000, when PC and semiconductor makers surprised analysts with dire warnings about sales.
As a result, companies begin to pour on the offers as the month rolls on.
The Office Depot computer comes with a Celeron D 352 chip, an 80GB hard drive and 256MB of memory.

Personally, I'd go for a $99 laptop and just add more RAM. Just reformat the harddrive and install a fresh copy of XP Home. It would make a nice travel buddy.
If I end up finding a good deal with a Go 7800GS or GT it's mine. I'm talking like <$2000 though.

well, right now my computer is so slow that to convert a movie takes anywhere from eight to twelve hours. When I'm converting, everything is very slow in responding. My sister can convert a movie in an hour! this computer is very very slow, so if I can't upgrade it I may just have to buy another one.

so your main thing is movies if it is you might want to go for a better processor and cut back on some other things you might not need like going for an amd x64 processor or an intel core duo 2 which will be better for converting and viewing because converting takes cpu power mainly and movies do too
