You want best processor? So your wallet would be the limit.

I will provide links supporting each processor as proof, otherwise anyone can come and say something.

I was also mention in a lot of places Q6700, but since it is more expensive than q6600 vs very lo gain in performance, I would not bother looking for proof.
However next one is really stronger.

OK,

Just to report back here and let people know how I got on...

Bought a secondhand QX6800 off ebay, and its working fine in the Dimension 9200 (bios 2.5.3).

I'm keeping a careful eye on temperature levels however.

Cheers.

And in hte same post it describes the link to overclock Dell Dimension

Do you consider upgrading cooling meantime? What is your budget for cooling, I can see that you are in England.
