To contribute to George's answer, both are socket 1155. If you can do that upgrade and you will see an improvement -- especially in multi-threaded processing. However, you may need to update your BIOS and you might not have room in your case. Check both. Your mobo's manufacturer may have some software to help with the BIOS question, sort of a robo mobo gogo, but make sure that the software is secure before flashing your BIOS. Use a good antivirus solution as your robo mobo gogo popo just to be sure. An aftermarket cooler is highly recommended for this processor, so a little extra room doesn't hurt.

Short additional answer is yes. You might even be able to use your current cooler too or stock cooler. I run mine with a noctura but if you aren't overclocking I wouldn't worry about it. Check your temperature using Core Temp application. You can use CPU ID to check voltage and slightly under volt to keep temps down but you sacrifice some performance. Easier to get a good air cooler.

It should work. HP's spec sheet shows that desktop supports PC2700 and PC3200 (333Mhz and 400Mhz respectively). If you don't wanna take a risk, you can pick up some RAM that specifies it works with that model like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Business-Desktop-Upgrade-DDR-400MHz-184-pin/dp/B008O51EDK

No. Sorry this is a desktop processor. Unless I am mistaken your Inspiron 1545 is a laptop which requires a mobile CPU. There may be upgrades available for your computer, you will need to confirm the CPU socket type and check on the Dell site for a list of compatible CPUs.

We have two Inspirons. Both have i5 series processors but you should, of course, check the published specifications.

Yes it will work. I'm running an i7 intel and it works just great.Hope this helped.

Hi, no this will not work for your computer. The only free slot you have is a pci-e slot. It is much smaller than the connection on this card. Here is a link to your computers user manual. See page 15 for the image and description of connections. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/inspiron-660s_Owner's%20Manual_en-us.pdf I would recommend this card instead, as it would fit perfectly. I own it myself, and it works great!

That will depend on Dell's bios. The CPU is compatible with any socket 775 MB that has a bios that with the CPU id inserted.

Although i don't own a dell inspiron 6000, It should work. The one you have is a travelstar 5K100 series, while this one is 5K160. Spec almost the same so performance wise should be the same. Did some quick search, If your laptop is the same model as one mention from the following web url, http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19489758/20291570.aspx, the answer is yes.

As long as your Dell Inspiron has a HDD/SSD slot for it and -ALL- of your drivers are updated (Including BIOS and the SSD Firmware), then you should be fine. Just remember to map out the local drive after installation by giving it a letter (such as D: or E: if your main drive is C:), sometimes it won't automatically do it.

I am not sure. This is DDR2 PC2 8500 1066Mhz 240 Pin DIMM memory. Somewhere you should be able to find the memory specs for your desktop. Maybe on Dell's website. I do know that these large manufacturers sometimes use odd configurations.

I don't know. You can get their manufacturer's pitch here. Dell Inspiron i3647-1233BLK Desktop (Windows 7) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Since I had not even opened the box, I cant tell you what was in the box. My review of this was for a student in my household who decided to drop her computer class. Hope this helps.

I have a Dell Inspiron notebook that I use it with. I have only used it to run other types of programs, haven't tried any games. Probably would depend on game specs if it would satisfy the requirement.

I Don't know, but you can go to the dell web site and contact support to see if this is a compatible CPU. Just email them and they will respond If you have time you can look in the manual download area to see if there are any specifications for your computer

If you go to support.dell.com and enter your service tag number, you can see the original configuration of your system. Check the CPU line for socket type- some common ones are socket 775 , 1155, 1150... This CPU is an 1150, if that's what you have, this will work.

The Inspiron 530 has an motherboard based on G33M series, of which FSB run up to 1333 MHz, and supports up to Core 2 Duo processors. This processor C2D E8400 3.0 GHz can upgrade your Pc perfectly.

Most dell laptops won't have any problems.., and should work. Desktops, no problem.
