Hi,
Not up on Penitum M 478. Seen a few 478 1.6 1MB Pentium M's going on the bay for £20. Can these be used in a standard 478 Mobo? I have P4C800E but havn't bought the CT479 adapter yet. Could I drop the 478 Pentium M in this board?
 
There's socket 479 pentium M chip but I remeber on an old thread saying theirs a Pentium 4 Mobile which is socket 478. I don't know how true it is it's just what I read that someone else on here wrote here a while ago.

Yes I thought Pentium M's where 479 but there are loads of chips up for sale that say 478.

Heres another

Might aswell wait for conroe tbh, its the same as pentium M, but a lot faster and will be nativly supported by desktop cpus, putting a mobile cpu into a desktop is a lot of hassel, getting the right mobo, add in card, cooler, etc

Plus the conroes will be faster anyway :)
 
The reason they say 478 is because well they are, however the pin layout is different hence they are socket 479 and won't work in a socket 478 motherboard without the adapter.
 
I didn't think there were any 478 Pentium M's but I know there are 478 P4M's because I'm using one of those in my download box. I thought I would ask but it would have been nice if they did do a 478 variant.
 
You have a good Mobo there for a CT-479 / Pentium-M System, I would go for it. Try and go for a Sonama Core Dothan (533FSB), 730, 740, 750 etc as these clock higher than the 400FSB variety.
Should have no problem getting one upto at least 2.5GHz on the stock cooler that is supplied with the CT-479.
At this speed they are great performers in games.

Hi m8,
I'm trying to get a low power but fast system to use in my MCEBox. Its currently using a 2.4HT passive but still kicks out too much heat and is not very responsive with MCE 2005. I feel guilty using my main beast, its not exactly enviromentally friendly so if I can have a really enviromentally MCE box thats running 24/7 then it will at least make me feel I'm doing my bit for the planet.
 
hi i have a 2.4 ht chip in my shuttle (htpc) all water cooled and it running at 3.3ghz 24/7 in total silence No fans

they are great chips for Ocing.

I have a 2.4 b that does 3.5ghz all day too but the Ht make's the chip much more alive responcive

A PM at stock will be consuming about a quarter the power of the P4 2.4 HT. So even with a decent overclock you will be consuming less power and generating less heat.
The Cooler on the CT-479 is very quiet as well, although I couldn't say if it is silent enough for your MCE uses.
 
judge c what does your rig get in 3dmark 05 bty as i ahave a dothan with with a x800xtpe and was thinging of changing it to pci-e i get 7k bty

and my p4 chip feels faster in Mce due to it being better at multi tasking the dothan is faster but start running loads of apps and it chugs

I had the same problem with a 3700SD, that chugged with MCE with plenty of things going on. In that respect the 2.4HT is smoother but still lacks the 3700 Kick. Perhaps the core duo is the way to go.

The best I have got so far in 05 is 9,828 although I hope to break the 10,000 mark at my next serious attempt.

Edit: Thinking about it, that was probably done with my previous 740 which would hit a wall at 2540Mhz. This 750 will go a bit higher, so I will have another bash at it.

I can run at that speed with stock cooler 24/7 (on dothan)but it is a wall it will not go any faster not even 1 fsb more weird i thing some is holding it back and its not volts maybe the adaptor

as for my x800xtpe it was air cooled i have it water cooled now so i should retest it i recon 7.5k is in reach

if your not already doing it run with jumpers on 400fsb, always worked better for me.

my score on 6800GT for reference.
