Dell Dimension 5150 Procesor support

I got a computer from a friend not and it sat in a closet for a while, but now I want to upgrade it.

It's a dell dimension 5150 which has a 3.0ghz HT P4 630. Socket 775 etc

It looks like from snooping around they support the dual core Pentium D's.

I have a E6320 I want to drop in there, but before I take it all apart I want to know if it'll work for sure.

Anyone have any experience with it?

LGA775 Supporting Pentium 4 5XX/6XX Processors 2.8-3.8 GHz
any way not c2d, pentium d's are 8xx and 9xx series
do not believe it will work with Core 2 Duo E6320, might fry it or mother board

no it will not work with an E6320, its not going to fry the board or the CPU or anything, just it will not post, so that will be wasted time.

I tried it last week, it just spun up the fans as soon as power was plugged in w/out hitting the power button.

Guess its time to go shop for a pentium d or p4 ht

Additional Comment:

So I got a p4 550 3.4ghz processor for it (prescott), installed it, and on boot it gives and incompatible processor error. It'll keep booting and run at 2.8ghz (14x200).
I have the latest bios A07, which should support this proc no problem. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I looked up and they even sold this model the dimension 5100 (same hw as the 5150) and it was sold with a P4 550.
*shrugs*

I wonder if there is a way to downgrade the bios to a lower one and see if itll work.
