Dell precision 330 upgrades, prossessor,ram

[Eighty8lx501]

What prossessor and memory can I change out to on my pc, it is currently a pentium 4 at 1500 MHz with 523,280 KB RAM.

Well, what is your budget?

 

[Eighty8lx501]

Well I want at least 2000 MHz and a gig of ram. Not to much $, just some parts to throw at it that are stable and will help speed it up a little. What kind of stuff will work with my pc? Give me some links.

 

[joxley1990]

Well, what socket number is it, or dell model? Havent heard of the 330..

I got 2 stickers on the back ... 31730248 and DGFYP01. Where can I find the socket #?

Check the manuals if you got any, it should tell you. For example: Pentium 4 1.5 Ghz Socket 775

I have no manuals on the pc, I bought it from ebay. What memory will work with it atleast?

The sticker on the motherboard - DP/N MX-06E153-12405-160-0261

I am pretty sure it is a socket 423, I just bid on this:

What will I have to do to replace my cpu?

There is no socket 423.

If anything, its going to be socket 478.

Id go with this processor...

But for budget, either of these would do.

However, I would stick to a Pent 4.

As for the ram..
(Because its so old, brand wont matter)
Just choose the size from this list, and your good to go

Are you sure there is no socket 423, google comes up with results on it. That is what the motherboad # matched on ebay. I want to buy the right one, please help. Thanks
