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:bounce: running Linux Mint 18.2 with currently Celeron.
Thanks
 
Solution
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.
