    I hope you realize a new motherboard and memory will be in order. I would suggest upgrading to a Core 2 Duo build instead of the AMD. The AMD having better performance days are over.

    It's been said, you'll need a new motherboard and memory, as well as probably another power supply, knowing what often comes in Dells.
