[techy613]

Looking for replacement cpu that would run internally much faster than my current Intel 1.7ghz cpu

what cpu you do you have?

and what is your budget, mobo and the things you want to do with it?

Intel 3570k

I think the cpu's have different pin-outs and interface requirements. I want to retain the same Dell Dimension 4400 motherboard.
Thanks for your answer

My budget would support a faster cpu (or something like a turbochip upgrade.) Generally, just email and internet browsing. Thanks

Well, you were about as vague as can be in the OP, I half thought it was a rhetorical question

Your motherboard is a 478 socket motherboard. I suggest P4 3.0 Ghz - for the best value of this cpu I would take the refurbished which means that the reseller has made sure that the chip is working.

I have connected dell and they say that no cpu upgrade is possible however they couldn't precise on why it couldn't; it's either bios restriction or too low psu or both. P4 2.53GHz - I read that the 3.0 won't but maybe this model.

You have to try.

Investing in this computer is not worth it. I would rather spend around 300 and get a whole new system.

Pentium-4 2.8 GHz, 400MHz FSB, 512K L2 is the maximum you can upgrade to here is the proof http://en.community.dell.com/what-do-i-buy/f/3510/p/17290282/17413268.aspx#17413268
I think this is the one http://starmicroinc.net/intel-pentium-280ghz-400mhz-512kb-cache-p-426.html $18 plus shipping, use the same heatsink and cooler.
DONE.
