Socket 478 and PCi-E

MadLeo · 3 Aug 2006 at 10:27

Been searching for a Socket-478 Motherboard which supports PCi-Express graphic. I have found a few specs but nowhere that sells them. Are any available in the UK?

Thanks for any help.

Asus P4GPL-X is OK. Its an intel 915 board and is a bit basic by ASUS standards, but has 16x PCI-E slot and most importantly for me, supports the CT-479 adapter to allow me to run my Pentium-M. They were not the most common of boards, but were easy enough to find the last time I looked, for about £50 or so.

Edit: Having said that, they do seem a bit thin on the ground at the moment.

Someone may have a 478 chip that they wanna use. I myself have 3 here that'll prolly never run again or might hit Ebay, 1.7 478 williamette, 2.4 533 Northwood and 2.8 800FSB HT Northwood.

Thanks for the help ppl. I have just upgraded my game machine liberating a PCi-E 6600 Graphics card which I want to use in an old 3GHz S478 machine. Looks like I'll try to find an Asus P4GPL-X then.
