I am trying to upgrade my Inspiron 3700 500Mhz. I know just enough information to get myself introuble. I know that the 3700 Motherboard line was MMC-2 and did support SpeedStep even though the 500Mhz Processor installed doesnt. I wanted to boost the 500mhz to about 750 if possible. I found the following information on the 500Mhz I have installed
CPUID String 0681
Processor 500Mhz MMC-2
Bus Speed 100Mhz
Core Voltage 1.70V/1.35V
Thermal Design 15.0W
Core Stepping MA2
L2 Cache Size 256k
Die Size .18micron
L2 Cache Speed 500Mhz
ECC
Bus/Core Ratio 5.0
Now I found the information on the 750Mhz and I wanted to know if anyone knew if I put the following processor into my system would it work. I know this may sound simple but I am really lost.
CPUID String 0683
Processor 750\600 Mhz(speedstep) MMC-2
Bus Speed 100Mhz
Core Voltage 1.60V/1.35V
Thermal Design 20.0W/13.9W
Core Stepping NBO
L2 Cache Size 256k
Die Size .18micron
L2 Cache Speed 750Mhz
ECC
Bus/Core Ratio 7.5
I see a different CPUID, Thermal Design, Core Stepping, and Bus/Core Ratio. I do not know how to tell if these newer figures are compatable with my system. Any help will be greatly appericated.
Thanks,
Dan
