Usually swapping processors is unhinging some clips. But seriously, make sure your motherboard can take the new processor.How to change my CPU Processor?A Pentium 3 is not compatible with a Pentium 2 socket. You would need to replace the motherboard too.



Pentium 3 motherboards are getting hard to find as they haven't been manufactured for about 6 years, an eternity in computer time. You may be able to find one on EBay. You need to ind one compatible with whatever socket your Pentium 3 uses.

This is because by the time you purchase all the needed parts, and pay someone to install them, you are well past the price of an entry level Dell.
