Well, thats it right there, and i DO have socket 478, but could i just connect my old Fan onto it, instead of the stock-heatsink?

yes, you heat sink will conect to it, but more importantly, is your mother bord compatable with a 800mhz front side bus?

hmm, probably not since its Intel, (from a dell 2400) remember this is the Mobo that had the AGP slot TAKEN out

NO AGP! -blam!-S!

You can get that put in. They sell kits for putting in an AGP slot. You do have the sockets for it ;)

Another idea would be to just get a new mobo(i recomend ASUS P4P800S-X,great price and it`s compatible with 800FSB and you can put a P4 at over 3.6GHz onto it...oh and you can put up to 2GB of PC3200 DDRRAM)
I think another idea would be to get the mobo i just said and the P4 3.0GHz 800FSB...works like a dream for me with only 512 ddr

im sure u can put a AGP slot on ur mobo, but a pciexpress for a dell 2400's mobo, i doubt it,
also mate it means that u hav crap ram slots, wont b able to take ddr400
so if i were u just get a new mobo. keep ur hard drive unless u wana get sata and get some new RAM, ddr400 or even ddr2 if u got the money.
im not sure if putting in ur old ram would b that much of a slow down.

and if you had a dell dimension 2400 your going to need to put in a micro-atx form mobo not an atx.
