I am wondering if I can put a Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3.20 GHz, 512K Cache, 800 MHz FSB into a AOPEN MX4GE motherboard, the socket type is the same but I am not familiar with the FSB settings to determine if it would work. The AOPEN site only shows up to Pentium 4 2.8 ghz

you posted a statement of fact not a question.
it will support
not
will it support(a real question)

well NO
and NO PC stated, only mobo.(lost the PC ?)
nor that this PC was mobo bought in India?
YOUR mobo is core2, not core(tm) processor
they are not even the same class nor socket
no
here is the list of core i3 (all are LGA
your mobo is core2. (older )
all are over 1000 pins, LGA1156 (gen 0)

you can not stuff 10 pounds(or kg) of mud in 1 pound sack.
no can do.

2.66GHZ means 2.66 Gigahertz i.e the speed of the processor. For more details, please review the following pages...:

It should fit. Check the motherboard manual to see which CPUs will work in it.

The motherboard for the dc7600 has an Intel LGA775 processor socket. However, not all LGA775 processors are compatible with the motherboard. For the small form factor, the following CPUs are supported: Intel Celeron D Processors:
Intel Celeron D 331 Processor (2.66-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Celeron D 336 Processor (2.80-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Celeron D 346 Processor (3.06-GHz, 256K L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB)
Intel Pentium 4 Processors with HT Technology:
Intel Pentium 4 521 Processor (2.8-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB) , Intel Pentium 4 524 Processor (3.06-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB) , Intel Pentium 4 541 Processor (3.2-GHz, 1-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 620 Processor (2.8-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 630 Processor (3.0-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 631 Processor (3.0-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 640 Processor (3.2-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 641 Processor (3.2-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 650 Processor (3.4-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 651 Processor (3.4-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium 4 661 Processor (3.6-GHz, 2-MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB) or
Intel Pentium D Dual Core Processors:
Intel Pentium D 805 Dual Core Processor (2.66-GHz, 2x1MB L2 cache, 533-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 820 Dual Core Processor (2.8-GHz, 2x1MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 915 Dual Core Processor (2.8-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 925 Dual Core Processor (3.0-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 930 Dual Core Processor (3.0-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 940 Dual Core Processor (3.2-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 945 Dual Core Processor (3.4-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800-MHz FSB), Intel Pentium D 950 Dual Core Processor (3.4-GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)

Unfortunately, these are old processors and I don't see any available new. Newegg.com lists a couple available as refurbished. You may be better off getting a new computer with either a Intel I3 or current AMD processor.

I wish that I had better news for you.

(do not attempt to use a CPU that your motherboard doesn't support. It probably won't boot.)

You need the motherboard user guide for clock settings etc but first ensure that the socket set (number and distribution of pins) on the new CPU matches that on your board. You should find a user guide on the manufacturers website, follow links for support and downloads.

Here's the page for your CPU on the intel website:-

http://ark.intel.com/products/27468/Intel-Pentium-4-Processor-541-supporting-HT-Technology-%281M-Cache-3_20-GHz-800-MHz-FSB%29

According to this, *********** board needs to have a PLGA775 CPU socket.

Assuming so, its a case of setting the clock jumpers to match the processor speed.

No, u can't. ur motherboard is designed for pentium III processors with FSB -133 MHz, Socket-370 type. Pentium 4 processors have 400 MHz FSB, 423 Socket at least. But yes for memory, u can upgrade it to 512 MB.

The motherboard chipset of the Dell Dimension 2300 Desktop PC, will not support a processor with an 800MHz Front Side Bus frequency rate.

Only Intel Pentium 4's that use a Socket 478, 1.75 Volts, and a maximum of a 400MHz FSB.

The Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.0GHz processor has an 800MHz FSB, (As you have already stated), and uses 1.475 to 1.55 Volts.

The motherboard chipset for that Dell Dimension 2300, is an Intel 845GL.

This list on Wikipedia, shows you parameters the Intel 845GL chipset supports,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#Pentium_4_Chipsets

Not a good outcome, sorry. Just stating the facts.

You need to remove the CMOS battery located on the motherboard a nd re insert again..it will reset ur BIOS password...

This website is the details of your motherboard from intel site you can have look in to that the processor 3.2 ghz is supported but L2 cache must be 512 kb only(you are trying with 1mb one it is not supported) your processor doesnt suits the motherboard specification as i have told it previously ..

here are list & details of supported processors below:

intel® Pentium® 4























3.40 GHz 800 MHz 512 KB P20 or greater All board revisions support these processors. 3.20 GHz 800 MHz 512 KB P06 or greater 3 GHz 800 MHz 512 KB P05 or greater 3.06 GHz 533 MHz 512 KB P02 or greater 2.80C GHz 800 MHz 512 KB P05 or greater 2.80 GHz 533 MHz 512 KB P02 or greater 2.66 GHz 533 MHz 512 KB P02 or greater 2.60C GHz 800 MHz 512 KB P05 or greater 2.53 GHz 533 MHz 512 KB P02 or greater 2.40C GHz 800 MHz 512 KB P05 or greater 2.40B GHz 533 MHz 512 KB P02 or greater 2.26 GHz 533 MHz 512 KB P02 or greater

so just try changing this processor to 512 kb L2 cache processor ..........
