    Hi guys, I've got a Dell Optiplex 755 E4500 PC and I want to upgrade it and make it faster without spending a lot of money.

    Does anyone know if the "Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33GHz" CPU fits my PC direct or will there be other modifications needed.
    OR
    Does anyone know of a better solution


    All suggestions welcome
