Pentium M - 478 or 479 pins?

[naro]

hi guys,

may i check with u whether the Pentium M cpu is 478 pins or 479 pins?

i've researched and some websites mentioned that they are 478 while some mentioned that they are 479. i'm just confused...

They're socket 479. You need a CT-479 converter in order to run them on supported socket 478 motherboards. There are also some desktop boards that support socket 479 natively.

for instance, how abt the motherboard??
