Basically I was told that the heatsink from my dell could be used in myupgrade but the fitting seem to be motherboard specific so can someone tell me, are the dell stock heatsinks compatible with a conroe 954V?
 
What's a conroe 954v?

Intel Conroes won't work in any Dell mobo. Only certain new mobos support conroe, so you'd need a new mobo and it's unlikely the Dell heatsink assembly would fit a different mobo properly. You'd probably need a new psu and ram too.

Basically, I don't think you can upgrade a Dell to conroe without building a new rig.
