Can the Dimension 9100 by default handle both the 6XX series P4 and D Series
P4 or are there different motherboards/chipsets within the same model?

Had a look on the website but couldn't get a definitive answer.

thanks in advance

Easyist way is to go to Intels site and look at the cpu specs to see if
they fit the same socket to start with

Bal:

I have the 9100 with the Intel 630 CPU, and I had the same concerns as you
do.
Per Intel's web site that CPU uses the same socket and chipset as the dual
core D series.

Another concern of mine was, that Dell would use the same cooling shroud
for both types of CPUs.
It is the same.
