most likely this cannot be done, the sockets for the processors have changed twice since then. I don't think you would see a great prefprmace change if you could. You might thim=nk about upgrading to a more powerful core I7 from that generation, but you would need to find out which mother board you have and which processors it supports. Unless you are skilled in laptop repair, I would pass on the upgrade.
was your vostro 230 third generation? meaning, did it use DDR2 memory before or always had DDR3? They are not compatible. 2nd generation computers cannot use third gen parts. cpu, ram, most none of that type stuff. the motherboards are different and cannot change. if it was ddr2 memory you have to use ddr2, not ddr3, hope that helps.

Hello, I am the technician that will be assisting you today. My name is Norman-Wynne Damstra.
Welcome to Fixya, Roger Gross.
Yes your new AMD Athlon 2 X2 255 processor is made to fit both AM2+ or AM3 sockets.
Since your current socket is 754, you will need a new mainboard and DDR3 RAM to go with your new processor.
ASUS make very good mainboards. The ASUS M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 mainboard is a good companion for your new processor. Install DDR3 1333MHz CL9 RAM from either Kingston or Corsair. 2X2GB modules should do nicely.
Feel free to contact me should you require additional assistance.
Well, core15 nowadays ranges to 40- 45k pesos in the Philippines, well, I am referring to brand new. You might want to double check it to the nearest mall in your area.
Thank you for using fixya. I hope you find it very helpful.
The series of Intel Xeons associated with thethe E5430 is starting to become outdated, and thus it is difficult to obtain them. Memory4Less is selling the exact same processor as the one you have for $860 (can be found here: http://bit.ly/i46z9h ). Unfortunately, it does not come with a heatsink or fan. It is very difficult to find the original fan for a processor sold on its own. While you may not be able to find an original cooler, many companies have made heatsinks that are compatible with Socket LGA771, which is the same socket your processor uses. A comprehensive list can be found here: http://bit.ly/dOzByw A concern when having to use a fan that did not come standard with the CPU is whether or not it will fit in the case. Take careful measurements, and use the fan for the processor you already have as a point of reference. If you absolutely must have the original Dell fan, then I wish you best of luck with your search.
