Vostro 230 MT, CPU upgrade?
From a previous post in the Forum:
An Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 Processor 3.0 GHz 12 MB Cache Socket LGA775 CPU will fit this Motherboard.
Current CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz, 2926 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
Ram is maxed out a 4GB and a SSD is installed.
Will the Q9650 be a whole lot faster than the current processor?

No it won't and it would be a waste of money. The Vostro 230 is considered obsolete now. Use it as is until you can replace it.

Welcome to the Dell Community @Bill E Bob
No the Q9650 will not work.
Any CPU upgrade would show a negligible increase in performance.

Like @Mary G stated any upgrade would be a waste of money.
