    [SOLVED] What is the highest CPU upgrade for a Dell Optiplex GX620 Mini Tower?

    The Intel Pentium D 945 is the maximum you 'practically' can use, simply because of the thermal 'and acoustical' impact and that requires already that you have the copper-variant of the heat sink (at least if you want to drive it a work- or game- -day long). The Pentium D series are true...

    If you are using a GNU/Linux OS and in it no vendor drivers for the graphics card are installed, then you will be fine; Almost all of the Top 100 most used GNU/Linux-systems always check on boot for the hardware, to load the drivers needed. If you are using an OS from the Windows NT family...

    Question cpu 100 unless i open task manager

    I chose the wording "shortcut to a solution" intentionally; I could have said "shortcut to a possible solution", but that is not the point; You took the chance of a hit and run on a possibility and reasoned it tightly sealed. It is good to be open to spontaneously constructed ways of going on...
