Default Move Core 2 duo from Dell to new mobo?

The answer is yes and no. It IS possible to put the processor in a new MoBo, (if it's compatible a make and model of both the Mobo and Processor would let us know lol), but unless you got the MoBo from Dell, it is NOT possible to put it in that case. Dell uses proprietary components as much as they can. If you look at your new MoBo, you will notice hole in it where screws would go to screw it into a case. Now open up your Dell and see how that MoBo is fastened into the case. they have holes drilled in completely different places and hooks sticking out of the MoBo that hold it in the case rather than screws. If you get a whole new case though (not a Dell Case), it is highly likely that what you have will work together.
