Chipset.

Can somebody tell me what Chipset is used with the Mobo of a Dell Dimension 8400 with an Intel 540 (3.2G) and a 550 (3.4G) CPU?

    It's either a Intel 925X Express or Intel 925XE Express.

    No, your motherboard could have either chipset, for more information read the followind Intel chart.

    Thanks for info Shesagordie.

    Does that mean that the 925X is used with the Intel 540 (3.2G) and the 925XE is used with the 550 (3.4G)?

    I have an 8400 and was supposed to have the 925xe chipset originally.  I began having hardware compatibility issues associated with the 925x so I contacted Dell and found out my chipset was indeed 925x.  A technician was just here and replaced my motherboard with a new one which should have the 925xe chipset, but I'm still having the same compatibilty issues.  Can someone at Dell confirm the chipset on my motherboard based on the mainboard model # 0U7077?  I'm concerned Dell might've accidentally just replaced my motherboard with an identical one instead of actually performing the upgrade.  Thanks.
