Answer» Is anyone here familiar with this system? It uses either the CA810 or the CA810E board.
I am trying to figure out the max processor I can upgrade to. Here is my thread on the Dell forum and another board.

Can anyone here offer any answers?
Is this really the CA810E board and can I really go to a 1.0 or 1.1 Celeron?
Please help if you can. I really need to know whether this will work before I risk messing up the board.
PKPost an Everest report so we can see what board you have. Then we can hopefully advise further. It may be easier, as suggested on the Dell forum, to save the money towards a new motherboard, with a new CPU?Heres some system info from CPU-Z

I have REMOVED information that did not appear to be relevant.
What motherboard is this? Is it the CA810 or the CA810E? Can the CA810E have the 810 chipset rather than the 810E? Does this matter?
Can I upgrade to a 1.0 or 1.1 Celeron?
The Everest report had too much information that I need to weed through before I post, but I can if you want me too.
PKsPEC's...SL5XT 1000 MHZ and SL5XU 1100 MHZ should work according to intel your motherboard will support 100 MHZ FSB CPU's.
Read the below website.

Also, Read the below website.
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ca810e/sb/cs-012801.htmI have seen that info.
But how do i confirm what board this is, and is it relevant?
PK You can determine which motherboard you have by the Altered Assembly (AA) number or the BIOS version string. The label with the AA number is found near the edge on the top side of the motherboard. The BIOS version string appears in the main BIOS setup screen.
CA810 AA Numbers CA810E AA numbers 730959-xxx A01986-xxx 744854-xxx A01988-xxx
CA810 BIOS version CA810E BIOS version 8C1A100A.86A.xxxx.xxx CA81020A.86A.xxxx.xxx
Did you read the second link on my other reply?See Below.
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ca810e/sb/cs-012801.htmI have been through this before.
As I mentioned in the other threads:
The AA # on this board is A53824-302. The BIOS version that comes up at startup does say CA81020A.10A.0038.P12.0103071311 which does indicate the CA810E board. I assume that the AA# is different since its a Dell board? The big chip on the board just says "810." It also has "SL3P7" on it.
This and the system ID reports indicate that the board may be a CA810. Is that possible?
