Can't speak to the 9200, because it depends on the mother board and its
chipset. Mine has the nVidia 680i chipset and it will easily swap out
for a quadcore.

It is almost impossible to answer your question. It is definitely not a
given that a quad core processor will work, it will in some systems, it
won't in other systems. There are a LOT of potential issues. It
probably won't work in most systems.

Can I remove the Core 2 Duo (E6600) processor from my Dell Dimension

Just as an "afterthought"....:-)

Would there really be that great a difference to my machine's performance
if I took out the Core2Duo (E6600) and replaced it with the Quad Core
Q6600?
Both have the same clock speed of 2.4GHz.

Joe.




your pc would run at errrmm
the same speed most likley

currently, dual and quad cores is like havin 2 or 4 cars
you can only drive 1 of them at a time
(it's the right way to go, but it's still going to take time for every day
software to be complied for SMP machines)
