Comment: I was wondering if it would be a safe/good idea to swap a Gateway E-3200 500mhz processor into a Dell Dimension XPS t450, 450mhz system. I haven't much idea about swapping out processors. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Shane

Reply: (edit)Ya,
Only a 50mhz difference, I just wanted to see if it can be done safely, I might have some cpus at my house that are like 850mhz or more. I am just seeing it all the processor ports are pretty much standard or not. Shane

Reply: (edit)I own 3 dell's. a 450, 1ghz, and a 2.53
and i've been interested in overclocking them, but the CMOS that comes with them won't allow anything like that (doesnt even show the multiplier). So to answer your question...nope. Computer Forum
