Upgrading a processor.

this depends on your motherboard, and on the processor mounting. But yes it can be done, eg on MS-6577V2.1 m/b, with certain Pentium processors (not all)
Motherboard details will be needed for more detailed advice

No, you cannot upgrade to a core 2 duo with that motherboard because it is a socket 478.

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.)

Hello,
The Intel® Desktop Board D845GVAD2 supports a single Pentium® 4 processor with a system bus frequency of 400 MHz or 533 MHz, or a single Celeron® processor with a system bus frequency of 400 MHz.

So you can install upto 3.06 GHz 533 MHz(cache memory) processor and also update the ram 2 GB 400 mhz.
Dont install Prescott processor.
Hope it will help you.

CPU

• Support Socket A for AMD® Athlon™ / Duron™ Processors
• Supports 600 ~ 1.3GHz (PCB Ver1.x & 2.x)
• Supports Athlon™ XP 1500+ ~ 2000+MHz Processors (PCB Ver2.x only)

Manual here:

You can to reset password by jumper on motherboard his name CMOS CLEAR or CMOS RESET .
it plased near the 3 volt battery .
It look like 3 pins a 1 jumper on it.
reinstall for 2 second jumper to anover two pins from 2-3 to 1-2 or (from 1-2 to 2-3 ) and password will be cleared !!!
but the over settings will be cleared too.

P.S. if you can't find this jumper just to try remove the battery for 10 minutes and disconnect power cord from power supply unit, but it may be no useful.

Do not know much about mac but can you change settings on M/board by using jumpers to upgrade bus speed etc or in BIOS

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 ..........


any doubts you can reply me
i am always here to assist you
thank you
bye
rate my solution
