I have added two very fast disks to my Dimension 9150 to get some extra speed.I know that Foxconn makes some of the boards for them but not sure if they are all Foxconn made.And I have searched the Dell user forum and tech specs alot about it.Conclusion: The Dim 9150 can only be upgraded with pentium D9xx processors.
So your fastest option would be the D960 which runs at 3,6ghz, an increase of 20 in clockspeed. I am not sure if it would be worthwhile as it is still quite expensive (around 300 euro here in Europe). Your only other option would be (mentioned in several Dell forum posts) to buy the Dimension 9200 motherboard with a Core2Duo processor. The 9200 is the successor to the 9150 and all connection etc should still be exactly the same. Still it may be quite a lot of work to replace the motherboard yourself as I am not sure if it is easily removable from its Dell casing. Still if you do not want to overclock (and unfortunately it is not possible with the Dimensions) upgrading to one of the more reasonable priced Core2 Duos also wont change the world. They are faster but maybe not enough compared to the extra price of a processor and mother and all the work. My PC gets a score of 172s on the Driverheaven Photoshop benchmark. So yes it is faster, but enough compared to all the trouble and cost If you could overclock and get a score near 100s that would be an incentive Regards. Regarding the D960, I think 0.6 GHz is a good increase when it becomes cheap to buy. ![]() Your only other option would be (mentioned in several Dell forum. Still if you do not want to overclock (and unfortunately it is not. Earlier I had thought this was incompatible because the Core 2s are 1066 bus. But Intel claims that specifically the Express chipsets run at 1066 bus as well. Unfortunatley, Dell remained entrenched in Intels camp for too long rather than adopt AMD (pre Core Duo) in both their workstation and server divisions. I wonder how much of a real world performance increase can i expect from twice the L2 Cache increase -- hide signature --. The actual increase in performance will be somewhere between 20 and 25, but my guess is that it will be closer to 20 than to 25. In real life other factors such as memory (mainly size) and harddisk (mainly speed) also come into the equasion.
