PC Help! What processor

[phildapimp89 10+ year member]

Yeah those **** Dells. I took apart my sisters. They are impossible to work with first off. I dropped a few tools in there. Then I tried swapping the hard drive and found out I could not swap it with a standard hard drive.

I have a dell, only cause the parents wouldnt let me make one. And I have one of the entertainment line, and its great to work in. No problems at all, everything is interchangeable. Its nice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The new ones are great. The old ones take at least 15 min to take apart. They keep the hard drive cable so short it has to be fully in the bay, making it impossible to connect without tweezers.

Ok this is

mpga478b... I think that means its a mobile processor, if that makes a difference.

Ok, so Northwood or Williamette?

Better then a Celeron at the same price. I guess go for it.

Now to find a fan/heatsink. Have no idea how to install. Hopefully it will not be too hard.

Now i'm concerned with size lol... I have an ultra slim dekstop. I'd say a little under 2 inches clearance.

I do not think my computer even has a processor fan... I cannot find a connection for it anywhere on the motherboard. I must be blind or it really does not have a fan.
