I'm thinking of a CPU upgrade for my Dim8300. It's a long story...but I'd
like to know what socket is present and what CPUs are supported?

Socket 478 P4 with 800mhz FSB. I'd suggest that you stay with a Northwood
CPU (512kb L2 cache) and not go to a Prescott chip (1mb cache). More heat
and generally poorer performance. I've owned 8300's with both the 3.0 and
3.2Ghz Northwoods and they both perform admirably:
