TheRumBucket Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Ok guys. I've got a P4 1.7 GHz processor sitting in my closet. Thing is, it's williamette core... Will a standard socket 478 motherboard with 875p chipset work with this???or...do i have to find something specific? what do you guys think?

bishop245 Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 so long as the board supports the 400Mhz bus speed it should work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Are you sure it's Socket 478 and not Socket 423? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleaznkid Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 (edited) I never seen going that low. =] well heres the link on the site. uhhh http://indigo.intel.com/compare_cpu/showch...3099&familyID=1 Cuz it says on the bottom 423... And if you want to compare some other processor go to this one.. http://indigo.intel.com/compare_cpu/default.aspx?familyID=1 Hope it helps! I agree. Never seen a Socket 478 go that low...

bigred Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 478's went as low as 1.6ghz... I know this cuz I'm LOOKING AT ONE right now and the comment about the newer boards taking the willamette chips is true. the asus and dfi i875 boards will NOT, later revs of the intel will not either. sorry to break it to ya.
