Yup, same boards. Just make sure the heat sinks match the HT is pretty hot

Changing the board is not an option, so I guess I can't swap them. &nbsp;Where did you find the info on the 620 mobo? &nbsp;<br />

I have two Dell Optiplex machines with different motherboards and different CPUs. &nbsp;I would like to know if I can swap the CPUs. &nbsp;Here are the details:<br />
<br />
Machine 1<br />
Model: GX620<br />
Motherboard: Dell - 0F8101<br />
Socket: 478/LGA775<br />
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.4 GHz<br />
<br />
Machine 2<br />
Model: 745<br />
Motherboard: Dell - 0GX297<br />
Socket: LGA775<br />
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz<br />
<br />
The BIOS info, according to SIW, for Machines 1 and 2 respectively are Dell 7 / Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS v. 1.10 A11 and DELL &nbsp;14 / Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 2.2.0. &nbsp;I don't know if the former info is accurate, however, because I don't know where SIW reads that info from. &nbsp;I recently ran a full BIOS update for the older machine (Machine 1), which I downloaded from Dell's website.<br />

Swapping CPUs

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
