I'm takeing my home small form factor computer and giving it to my mom to use as a Server at work since im going back to a atx computer. The thing is I accidently ordered the wrong processor. My question is should I return it and exchange it for a core 2 duo. I just am wondering will the processor I got work for being a server and work station with 2 other computers attached to it. All the server is running is windows and some veterinary software that and just backing up work information.

What I ordered: Intel Dual-Core E2140 Allendale 1.6GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor

What I wanted: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 Allendale 1.8GHz 2M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor

It should really well, especially if you can overclock it to around 2.4ghz, which I believe the board can do fairly easily.
 
I might overclock it a little but not much since I dont want to fool with it since it will be a work computer and I want it to be very stable. That and pet hair is horrible build up in these computers, have to basically take a shop vac to them.

Here is a pic of how bad these computers can get if you dont clean them monthly this is from another vet clinic. http://www.dangerden.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4574
