L & G:
I've got a spare Pentium 4 and I would like to take advantage of it.
It was packed in a box with stickers at its side
In one of them you can read
Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4
Processor 631+
Supporting Hyper-Threading Technology
3 GHz
800 MHz FSB
2MB L2 Cache
In the other one you can read
Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4 Processor 631,
LGA775 Pkg, 3 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, UP only
Requires electrically compatible board - PCG06

Made in Costa Rica
The following symbols are engraved on the side of the processor that faces the fan:
INTEL (M) (C) ' 06
PENTIUM (R) 4
631 SL9KG COSTA RICA
3.00 GHZ / 2M / 800 / 06
3708A044 (84)
Those symbols that are between brackets should be read as if they were inside a small circle. The content of the last circle is so small and difficult to read that instead of an 8 it could contain a B or O or a 0 with a horizontal line dividing it in two equal parts.
It worked perfectly on a LGA775 socket of ATX (24,5 x 30,5 cms) motherboard with DDR2 800 / 667 / 533 SDRAM four slots, dual-channel (8 GB max)
It also worked on a LGA775 socket of a microATX (24,5 x 19 cms) motherboard which supported 2 unbuffered DIMM of 1,8 Volt dual-channel DDR2 400 / 533 / 667 (4 GB max).
I've failed in trying to find those same (new / out of the box) motherboards for this processor, and though I still haven't abandoned the search, my expectations to find them have decreased substantially.
All the LGA775 socket motherboards that I have been offered support DDR3 DIMMs.
I've also failed in searching the web looking for an answer to this question:
Is my Pentium compatible with that sort of RAM? Could you please answer this for me? Thank you for your time.
