Dell Dimension XPS Gen 3 CPU Upgrade

[1800Warioman]

I have a Dell Dimension XPS Generation 3 that currently has a Intel Pentium 4 540. The motherboard socket type is 775 LGA and the Chip-set is the i925x. What would be the absolute best processor that I could put in it. Pentium 4 or Pentium D/Extreme Edition of either one.

Thank You

according to this site, http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/875P.html

the best you can have is the Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4 GHz CPU

But I'm, not an expert, there may be a bios update that may allow for newer LGA 775 processors.

If it is supported get a Core 2 Quad or Core 2 Duo

If its this one your talking about http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Pentium_4/RK80532PG096512.html? My motherboard doesn't support it because its socket 478 and mine uses 775 nso it wont even fit in the motherboard ive looked on ebay and can't find any Pentium 4's better than mine but on Wikipedia there are really good ones that I can't find....

This is the best I could find its socket 775 but I don't know if the chip-set is i925x.
