Hey guys! I'm looking for an Intel P4 3.0GHz 600 series processor.Can't afford a new cpu now...involves changing of MoBo.

Select the "Start Menu."

Click to select "Control Panel." This will open a new window with several clickable options.

Choose "System and Maintenance," typically located near the top left-hand corner of the Control Panel

Click to select "System" from the new list of options

Look for the CPU's stock speed as indicated under the "Processor" heading. This is a ballpark, relatively close estimate of your computer's CPU speed, as provided by the manufacturer.

Checking the Stock CPU Speed in Windows XP

Click the "Start Menu.

Right-click on "My Computer."

Select "Properties." By default the Properties window will usually be set to the "General" tab, but if the window is set to a different tab you'll need to click on the "General" tab located near the top of the window.

Check the CPU rating as listed underneath the "Computer" heading.

Determining Real-Time CPU Speed

Go to CPU Speed Professional's website (see Resources) and download "CPU Speed Professional."

While other free CPU clocks exist, many are beta programs with glitches and unwanted bugs. CPU Speed Professional is well-known and reputable, receiving the "Vista 5 Star Software Award" according to its website.

Install the recently downloaded

" http://download.cnet.com/cpu-speed-professional/3000-2086_4-10833139.html "

file by double-clicking on it and following on-screen prompts to complete the automated install procedure.

Open CPU Speed Professional.

Click "Test Your Speed" on the main program interface.

A real-time, active measurement of your CPU speed will appear numerically, and CPU Speed Professional will also display your CPU speed on a stylish meter for easy visual comprehension.

hope this helps

Unlikely, I would think that the best processor you could use would be a 3.0Ghz or maybe a 3.06Ghz. If you look at the motherboard part number you will be able to find out from the manufacturers what the fastest CPU is. A lot depends on the FSB on the mobo and the Bios version. You need a "Socket 478" processor I think you will find that the processors you are looking at are "Socket 775" ( this is the fitting socket for the processor) .

Make sure that you have the correct mobo and not the g33m02 that dell ships with a duel core cpu's. If in fact you have the 03 model then you will need to upgrade your bios to the latest version from Dell and then you can go with a 45nm Quad core.

Again make sure you are running the correct mobo before you spend the money on the cpu and then cuss this post out that this guy said it will work when in fact the mobo does not support it.

This link just might help with your problem!

Athlon 1.3GHz cpu
Celeron 300A processor.

These are a few and courtesy of Tech Enclave here is a link about a place in China that produced a CPU called Godson II which is the equvalent of a Pentium III as well.

Hope this helps.

You should try to find the manual of your mobo. Search the manufagurer website for the same model number. It usually lists all compatible CPUs.

Socket 478 is for Intel Pentium 4, Intel Celeron, Celeron D and Pentium 4 Extreme. But that doesn't mean your motherboard supports them all. You should still check the manual.

looks like that mobo can only suppoport up to 53 mhz front side bus for a celeron d processor
wht tht means is tht u can get any cpu tht has the front side bus up to 533mhz with the 775 socket forur motherboard

and forpentium 4 its 800mhz and agian any cpu with up to 800 mhz front side bus and 775



so ur best cpu for tht mobo would be the SL7RR it supports hyperthreading


here a direct link to intel'ssite

pls rate my answer if i helped u

You need a motherboard that has the Intel® 845GV chipset and a socket capable of supporting the Celeron D processor.

If you are unsure how to proceed in fitting or purchasing the correct item, you may wish to seek advise from a qualified engineer near you.

I SEE YOU MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT INSTALLING ANY DRIVERS FOR THE HD'S DID YOU?
GOOD DAY

make sure you have seated all the cards properly, take them out and reseat them including the ram. Make sure your IDE cables are plugged in properly as well.
Restart the computer and if still no post then yes unfortunatly for you its the mobo =(
