CPU upgrading on Dell Inspiron 1545

[smith.philip2007]

Can I use an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3ghz cpu on my old Dell Inspiron 1545 that I am trying to make better again? I am running Linux Mint 18.2 with currently Celeron.
Thanks

That works with Inspiron 545. The model you listed is not a desktop.

So what is the best processor to work with Dell Inspiron 1545?

It can take 1066FSB processors so the 3.06GHz Socket P T9900

you can't upgrade processors in a laptop.

You can in that one. It's socketed. And while Socket P has 478 pins just like the previous Socket 478, Socket 479, + Socket M, it's not electrically compatible with any of those.
