I need new Cpu.

[phclyde]

I need a new cpu for my dell inspiron 530 and how can I tell which cpus will fit inside? I want to get one from core i3 or core i5.

Your current CPU is LGA 775 which is not compatible with i3/i5/i7. You need new motherboard and memory as well.

You can't, you have a LGA 775. So the best you could get is a used Core 2 Quad Processor Q9505. just look for a re-certified one on amazon, or ebay. you can pick up a core 2 Quad for roughly $100.

Can I get a new motherboard that is dell and put it into the inspiron 530 so i can get a i5 or i3?

Trying to get a different board to run an I3 or 15 on a diiferent board is something for an expert to do. And I say it is not a good idea. Here is a used core 2 quad.

Get your mobo Model # and make sure your board supports this chip. It probably does but check to make sure.

What is the best possible processor this motherboard can support? I want the most powerful one that can fit on this board and is around 50 dollars on ebay.

First of all, I mistook your PC as laptop for which accept my apology. Second, in order to have i3 or i5 you would need to change your mobo as well. If you have budget, then you can grab mobo plus cpu.I was searching for motherboard specs on your PC. It turns out to be microATX.

So if you want to buy a new mobo then keep the size in mind. Also keep in mind that this mobo does not support quad core CPUs for which Dell use another mobo from OEM.

I actually do not plan to get a new motherboard but I want to get a new cpu that is a core 2 quad. Will a core 2 quad fit on my motherboard? Ive also read that the xeon processors are built the same way that the core 2 quads are. Can I possibly set up a mod to change the pins on the xeon processor to go from 771 pins to 775 pins? Ive read that you can do that and the mod is inexpensive but does it work without problems?

What would be best for me to do?

Your mobo does not support core 2 quad processors. Pl read here

Intel Pentium Dual Core E6800. Will my pc be compatible with these processors?

 

[EasyLover]

Yes mobo supports E6800. FSB is 1066MHz.

Actually I think I am going to go with a Core 2 duo E8600 because it is a bit more powerful and it i only a bit more expensive.

 

[EasyLover]

Why don't you save some bucks and then buy a i3 or AMD platform PC upgrade. In my humble opinion don't spend on E8600 as it would be a waste of money and sooner or later you would be upgrading for sure.

Rest is your choice dear.

Good Luck
