Will this CPU socket accept a Pentium 4?

hey guys,

This is from a really old PC that i use and works fine. I added ram and now it has a gigabyte of ram, if that helps.

Depends on if that pentium uses a socket 478.

you need to know the exact model

 

but yes, some of them support socket 478

 

edit: if your cpu has pins, then it supports. if not. no

http://www.cpu-world.com/info/Intel/Intel_Pentium_4.htmlon this website look for all the soket 478's and click their link to see which Pentium 4 they are

If the CPU is Socket 478 and is supported by the BIOS, then it will work.

[NumLock21]

That system supports a socket 478 version of the Pentium 4. All other Pentium 4s are not supported. Highest socket Pentium 4, I think was 3 or 3.2GHz with HT. They're was even a Extreme Edition, but I can't remember if that is correct or not. The other thing is the FSB, the maximum FSB for this system is 400MHz, there is not much you can pick from with a 400MHz FSB. Maximum bit supported is only 32bit.

It will work with some Pentium 4's, not all of them, only the older models on the 478 socket, not the later models on 775.

I just got off the phone with dell tech support, it was AWFUL. But they did tell me the socket in which the pentium 4 was from was 478 so it would be supported?

if they say it is supported then it is?

 

but just to make sure. if your cpu has pins ON it, then it will be compatible. if not, then nop
