Inspiron CPU Upgrade

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 with a OFM586 motherboard. My Q6600
CPU failed and I'd like to replace it with an upgraded processor.
The frontside bus of a Q6600 is 1066. Will the motherboard handle an FSB of 1333? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One question - How do you know the CPU has failed? What is the issue you're having??

And no - It's not going to be able to handle the 1333 FSB.. It'd be a lot less performance that what it should be as FSB correlates to the clock speed.


CPU's rarely fail unless overclocked.
