Pentium Processor Upgrade: Dell Dimension XPS 50/66 MDT (V4xxV)

CAUTION: See Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge.

Make sure that you have installed the most recent BIOS version before installing the P24T 63-MHz Pentium OverDrive^� or P24T 83-MHz Pentium OverDrive upgrades. Earlier BIOS versions may cause errors or failures. Updated BIOS files are available through the Dell^� BBS, FTP, and World Wide Web sites.

This system also requires an Interposer Board, which disables the write-back mode, in order to operate correctly. In the U.S., the Interposer Board may be purchased with sku# 454703, or directly from Intel Corporation at 1-800-321-4044 or 1-503-264-7000.

NOTE: Dell does not support or provide warranty service for hardware failures caused by OverDrive microprocessors installed on any nonsupported Dell system. Dell does not guarantee the compatibility of third-party devices, such as expansion cards, with these Intel microprocessor upgrades.
