My processor from my old Dell I know is P4/2.66ghz/533fsb/478socket, I am looking into putting into a Asus P4S800D-X 478 ATX - Retail, I believe that the chip should be compatible however, I am not able to find out if it is a Prescott or not is there anyway to find out, I have looked up the modem number multiple times and I am having difficulties finding this out. Adios and Thanks Belvdabomination
You can use a small tool called [google]CPU-Z[/google] which gives detailed info on your CPU/mobo/RAM.
There within lies the problem the Dell motherboard is dead, it does not run at all. So I am not able to run a Diagnostic tool on the CPU itself to find out that information. Thank you though Belvdabomination
Well, if it's an Intel CPU at 2.66Ghz, 533Mhz FSB and socket 478, trust me, it's definately not a Prescott core chip, probably a Northwood core chip. If i remember correctly, Prescott cores only started at 3.0Ghz @ 800Mhz FSB!
Yeah that is what I have been trying to find out, thanks, I think that the board should be compatible then. Belvdabomination
Basically I believe that it is compatible up to the Prescott, from all of the other specs it would appear so. Belvdabomination http://www.ajump.com/ajump/product.asp?dept_id=5124&pf_id=0940159&sku=99-99-99-99-99-0940159 THis is what I am looking at right now.
Thanks I figured that it would I am paranoid right now thought because I tend to kill boards and vid cards, So I am making sure I am getting a compatible mb. Anyways Hope that you all have a goodnight and hopefully, next time I come back it will be on my BSD machine I have been stuck on this 2000 for 2 weeks and it is driving me crazy. Adios Belvdabomination
