Socket PPGA478?

[Bezzaboy1234]

Hi guys,

so I have some old e-machines motherboards lying about and was just checking up on the chipset on the board which is a Celeron 1.8 (single core, what a beast).

Was just wondering if this socket has any dual-core processors?

Thanks

Google - first result

The answer is no.

Im assuming old desktops so that would be the old p4 chips. There were dual core p4's but they were socket 775 im pretty sure.

That's what I thought, but I searched eBay and found this chip

http://ark.intel.com/products/29760/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T7300-(4M-Cache-2_00-GHz-800-MHz-FSB)

which says it fits the 478 socket and 479, And is dual core?

Confused =S

Those are mobile chips (socket P?) Ive got one still powering my trusty 4 yr old laptop. same number of socket pins but incompatible due to diff layout. Not sure whether they even physically fit either but yeah they wont work with the old desktop 478 socket.

That chip wont work in that board.
Best thing you could do with the e-machines boards is ebay them!

Ohh thats a shame =/ Thanks anyways,

And Emlyn that's what I was planning on doing but some of the next door neighbours kids are interested in computers and after they saw all of my kit they wanted in, So I promised I'd do my best to put something together from all the junk I have,

As slow as single core is, it'll have to do =P
