Intel Core Duo T2050 Processor ( Yonah ) Compatibilty with 479

[The Asgard]

Anyone know if an Intel Core Duo T2050 Processor 1.6GHz/2M/533 - Yonah is compatible with a standard 479 Pentium M motherboard?

I'm running a 1.8 Dothan on a MSI 915GM Speedster FA4 and would like to upgrade to a Yonah.

Cheers

Unfortunately that won't work. The Pentium M has a different Pin configuration to Core Duo, despite having the same number of pins. They both have 478 pins but different configurations, thus why Pentium M is dubbed Socket 479 and initially Core Duo was labelled as Socket 480 initally?

Won't work AFAIK, does the 915GM chipset support any dual core at all? I know Desktop 915 dosen't support Dual core cpus last i remember.

Another fair point. Yonah was supported at a Chipset Level from the 945GM, as was Merom.

Core Duo is socket M

Pentium M uses socket 479, even though it has 478 pins.

Core Duo will not worth with your 915 board as the chipset does not support Core Duo's features.
