Chipset Upgrade

Clarifications

You will need to swap out the motherboard. Chipsets usually aren't replaceable.

Dell especially makes their product intentially un-upgradable. Chipsets are usually designed for the processor, at least in todays PCs.

And, once you've replaced the motherboard, you'll probably need to replace the processor and RAM. Then, once you changed all those out and find yourself with basically a different computer (except case, CD and HDD), you'll find that you'll need to purchase a new copy of Windows because the one you've got will think it's on a new computer and won't reactivate because it was sold for a Dimension 5000. Then, you'll need to find drivers for the system because your recovery CD is for a Dimension 5000 which it is no longer and DELL won't be any help.

If you insist on running a piece of software that is that totally dependent on a particular chipset, best budget for a new computer and buy what it needs.

But the reality is that means a new computer or at the very least the M'Board, CPU, RAM so it's generally easier to look at a new computer.

Only thing is that new Systems are now using the P43 or 45 Intel Chip Sets and the 934 is long gone to Obscurity so can this application support a P43 M'Board?
