can Pentium 4 mobile be used in normal mainboard

[umala]

Title says it all. It is socket 478.Thanks

no i think there socket 479 which is intels mobile socket, you can however buy an socket 479 to 478 adaptor, could be wrong mind

No, socket 479 is Centrino. Before that Intel have the mobile version, which somehow use less energy than the Pentium. They are indeed 478.

Ive got a mobile celeron in a normal motherboard and had a mobile pentium in it before that. I did have some aggravation, not all boards are very happy and I renember something about bending one of the pins over, but really dont renember any details.

I bookmarked a thread on AnandTech that had a load of info on mobile celerons, most of it applys to pentiums too, it was titled Unofficial Guide to mobile Celeron overclocking success! (no linkage as unsure of rules).

TDF.

The hint and article on Anandtech that you mention was great. It removed all doubt. Unfortunately as Internet is so pervasive, there is also no guarantee about reliability of its data. I ahve come across at least one forum ( can not remember exactly ) that confidently state that using mobile version will cause damage to both CPU and mainboard.

BTW, in searching around for more information, I came to this.
http://www.sysopt.com/tutorials/article.php/12034_3608801_5. Celeron 310 can be modified to 3.2G. Has anyone ever tried or know about the other similar experiment. Does "releasing one pin " simply mean bent it.

You can bend or remove it, about it causing damage, i don't see how.

You mean one pin can be removed without any harm . I want to ask if in the picture, one pin was bent to TOUCH other pin. 3.2 G is tempting result for a bit risk ah

Thats for reducing the voltage to the lowest, highlighted in white, can be bent or removed.

Oh that is even more interesting. How about the other pin. BTW, in the
http://www.sysopt.com/tutorials/article.php/12034_3608801_5, the blue pin seems to bent toward the red one. Can you tell me exactly what happen. I do not want to lose money (!!!!). BTW, unfortunately now it seems I am going to have Cel 315 instead of 310. Is there the same Economic tricks like 310 in 315.

Where are there generally information about modded pin for CPU.

Regards.

The bending and contacting of those pins make whatever board its put in detect it as a 200FSB cpu instead of a 133MHz one, this can come in handy in boards where you can't change the bus speed etc.. However your chip has to be capable of running a 200FSB speed

It seems there must be an Mannual (at least among Intel engineer) about functionalities of each pin.What if we can find a pin like this for Pentium 805 . Justintime, your title seems to be reresentative, can you tell me about the red, green and blue pin also. I want to understand.
