| | Not that I'm aware of. They are different sockets. 1st gen is 1156 and 2nd gen is 1155. |

| Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora | That's the bitch with Intels. They change the sockets every 5 minutes. But your case is not too serious - you would probably not gain a lot anyhow. |

| | Yes the 2nd gen i5 is a 1155 socket. It is not compatible. You would need new motherboard, cpu and ram. Which may not fit in your dell case. I would suggest a new system altogether if you wish to upgrade. Sorry its not good news. Paul. Last edited by paulpicks21; 01-06-2012 at 05:59 PM.. |
