Dell 600C question

[By-Tor]

I'm not sure if this should be in this forum, but it is related to the Dell deal for a 600C... Here goes:

Does anyone know if I can upgrade the Celeron processor in the 600C to a "real" Pentium 4? In other words, is everything else the same except for the processor? Thanks.

I'm not sure, but I believe the celeron comes with the 400bx chipset and also has a slow Front Side Bus.

The P4 comes with the Server Works GC - SL chipset and the 533mhz frontside bus.

The differences would make me think that it is not possible to put a P4 proc in the celeron machine.

Yep, direct swap out for the P4.

hrm, if you can find a cheap P4, that would make the 600C actually a decent system! :)

Actually, there was just a thread a few weeks ago for the same system with a P4 free upgrade. It was like $269 I believe.

Keep an eye out. The servers keep popping up.

I wish i had gotten in on that; but only yesterday my dad told me to get a puter for my sis....600c should be plenty for her :)
