Dell optiplex 330 cpu upgrade
My Dell optiplex 330 has a G31/33 chipset.I have a Intel core 2 duo E4400 @ 2.00ghz.I want to get a core 2 quad, or possibly a really good core 2 duo.One thing though, it has to be at least 3.0ghz to play Dark Souls prepare to die edition.

yes

run it anyway
it should extract a bin file, save it to a usb stick, and boot to bios and update bios, select the usb stick, and update
