    Temporary CPU Replacement

    Hi Guys,

    Hope this is in the right spot.

    I have a QDI mobo with a P4 2.4 in a 478 socket. The booklet that came with mobo from manufacturer states that the board is compatible with: Intel Pentium 4 (Northwood) socket 478 processors at 1.6/1.8/2.0/2.2/2.26/2.4/2.53/2.66/2.8/3.06 Ghz.

    I ,accidentally, purchased a used ( and unreturnable) Mobile Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz ( NOT Pentium 4 - M ) it is as follows:

    Family Intel Mobile Pentium 4
    Processor number: 532
    Frequency: (GHz) 3.067
    Bus speed: (MHz) 533
    Package type: 478-pin FC-mPGA4
    CPUID 0F41h
    Core stepping E0
    Qualification sample Q72V
    Previous stepping SL7DT
    Manufacturing technology (micron) 0.09
    L2 cache size (KB) 1024
    Features Enhanced SpeedStep technology
    Hyper-Threading technology
    Thermal Monitor 2
    Core voltage (V) 1.25 - 1.4
    Case temperature (°C) 75

    Can I use this 3.06 Mobile Pentium 4 on my QDI board, at least untill I can locate and obtain a true P4 Northwood CPU?

    Thanks,
    Ken

    As far as I recall, that processor will not work on that mobo. Only a Pentium 4M will work.

    Thanks for your answer. From what I have learned so far, is that the pent4-m actually has a 479 socket.
