how to remove cpu off a dell?

[xstealthstriker]

i'm gettin a new case and motherboard, and i'm just going to use my Intel Celeron 1.7ghz chip. I was wondering if ney1 could tell me how to remove the heatsink and cpu off my Dell 2350? Its an 487 socket. Thanks.

If its a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) Socket, there should be a lever on one side, and lift that up 90-100 degrees and take out the processor (and vice versa when installing).
