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

    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.
