Are you sure it is 500 watts? That sounds like overkill for a dell system stock PSU, then again, it is a XPS and it has a Pentium D :P

You may be able to plop a Core 2 Duo in there, look on your motherboard for a model number, then google what it can support.

LGA775 is the psychical socket design of the processor and motherboard socket. A Core 2 Duo, or a Core 2 Quad would be able to psychically fit in, but the chipset on the motherboard may be a little old and not be able to support the processors.
