Dimension 1100 – processor upgrade (Windows 10, NX bit )

$

Hi,

we use a Dimension 1100 as our secondary PC and it works pretty well with Windows 7 as far as our needs are concerned. Now that Windows 10 is coming, I wonder whether an upgrade would be possible.

As the stock processor (Intel Celeron D 325) doesn't seem to support the required NX bit, I thought of replacing it with a Pentium 4 511 (http://ark.intel.com/Products/Spec/SL7PK). Now, would this processor work or could any compatibility issues arise? Also, does the BIOS (upgraded to version A01) play along with the NX bit?

If not, are there any other options (be it Pentium or Celeron processors) that could bring the Dimension 1100 and Windows 10 together?

Thank you in advance. Your help is greatly appreciated!
