Hello, was wondering, if the components straight out of a pentium 4 mother board are compatible with a higher mother board in this case a dual core? If the P4 is a Dell and the Dual core is a Dell, could there be chances of interchanging the components (ram, hard drive, power supply, cd drive, graphics cards) ??

Need more details to make sure. What is the details spec of the systems ? The Dell models, CPU, RAM type, GPU, etc .

And also, what is your point to use the very old build in this day ? Upgrade Mboard will not give any good point except the little bit more compability.

Components(power supply, harddisk, ram, even the fan that cools the processor) from a 2005 Dell optiplex gx 620, Pentium 4, Intel 945 Express chipset, to a 2006 Dellp Optiplex 745 965 Express core 2 duo MotherBoard, the thing is that a blank motherboard with just the slots is very cheap, just changing the components if compatible from one to another could be very very cheap, there are mother boards at low prices where I'm at pricings low as 4$-7$ with the processors incorporated, buying a mother board and then just simply taking the components from the already armed complete pc to the motherboard and build the new one in question of minutes, of course probably some components won't be compatible, the power supply could surely be one? To be more specific the 2005 DellOptiplex with 1gb incorporated ram, 3,0ghz 80gb disk space to a Dell Optiplex 2006 that can hold up to what the 2005 model has and eventually exceed that

I still find it amazing that MB's that ran 8 and 16 bit OS still look similar to todays MB's. You should look closer though, the chipsets have changed, the bus widths have changed and BIOS has been updated for the new hardware.
ddr2 and ddr3 are not interchangable and should not fit the wrong slot!
I tried Dell website to see if Model number could be referenced to processor type withput success. Go to Dell website, this is where you can compare your tag numbers and specifications. However it is Dell, so good luck tracking whatever components du juor where used on those models.
As a last note they are your components and not worth much so you can go ahead and see what happens if you want.

Have been looking at the components of the Optiplex 745 and found that the pci express is the same at 16x and the power supply at 280 is the same, I looked at the connectors and the same as well, it's interesting because to upgrade a psu in a pentium 4 one would need to update de bios and probably change the components but a 7$ motherboard of the same model line that already has the upgraded processor and eventually bios installed sounds way easier just changing the same parts and it's done.
