Your Specs...

Hm... according to Patios site, you can upgrade that Processor to a Pentium 4 instead.

That board uses a Socket 478.

A Pentium 4 would run much faster than a Celeron.

thanks guys.

Beware ashiful as Intel now only do socket 775 you can get old P4 pentiums for socket 478 but I bet only on ebay or some second hand site

I disagree.
A feeble beware warning.

I disagree.
A feeble beware warning.

Told you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_478
for those of you who are thinking of changing a chip beware 478 refers to pins on the micro chip both amd and intel fazed them out as two many pins were being bent rendering the chip useless and they have both gone for the board to have the contacts and NOT the chips plus they use a clasp system a bit like closing a mouse trap thus ensuring the closing force is distributed evenly you still might be able to get 478 based chips  new and  boxed but I think they will be used

If you know what you are doing...pay attention and take your time installing a 478 CPU is as simple as any other CPU...

Again as i stated...a feeble beware warning.

Just make sure you buy a 478 cpu and not a 775 on accident

As it is an older motherboard it will be very hard to get processors for it look at the date of the post

I think he has this chip in it

[computeruler]

Uhh ya I think he already told us he has that one.  And what about the date of the post?
