Dell Dimension 4550 Processor Upgrade

I believe the Dimension 4550 takes a Pentium 4, but what is the highest P4 it will run (without such items as a PowerLeap adaptor)?

Still going on eBay auctions with a few hours left, but at £40 at the moment. Is that a decent price in your opinion? ($70.00 roughly if you are from US)

3.06GHz/533 MHz. Note that there are 800 and 1066 MHz P4s that will not work - and that the 4550 WILL NOT work with a Prescott P4 (1M or larger cache).

Yes, that's the right one. How much for this CPU?
