I looked for it on the internet but got nothing, so I am asking here.
I know that the CPU and my motherboard are both LGA775 socket,
so no problems there. My real question is does the BIOS/Chipset support it?
I found one for sale on Amazon <A HREF=http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Pentium-3-4Ghz-Fsb800Mhz-Lga775/dp/B000IEO964/ref=sr_1_3/181-0025215-5589643?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1374515165&sr=1-3&keywords=intel+pentium+4>HERE</A> for really cheap and it has very good reviews. I currently have some really wierd OEM Pentium 4 @ 2.55GHZ with dual integrated MMX from 2001. I want a upgrade but dont have much money so I thought this was a great deal. Like I said in the question my MB is a Intel D865GBF REV C25370-002 with the (I think) latest BIOS firmware revision with a custom splash screen done with the Intel OEM BIOS customization tools by myself and every additional hardware module I could find flashed onto it. I am using Windows XP® Home Edition and a custom Linux I made myself. My PSU is sufficient as it is a Rosewill 500W with lots of connectors (8 SATA, 2 Molex, 1 CPUx4, 1 CPUx 8 and 2 PCIE power) and has a 3 year warrenty that covers everything including what it kills if it does die. I have a Western Digital Green 500GB HDD WD5000AZRX-00A8LB0 connected by SATA 6GBPS and 3 Optical IDE Drives (MTRP 56X CD-ROM ASUS QuieTrack 52X and a Lite-ON DVD+/-ROM/CD-RW). I have a US Robotics modem (Used very often for fax), a RealTek RTL8139 Ethernet adapter running at 100MBPS full duplex and a Linksys WUSB546v2 Wireless adapter running at 150MBPS on a bridged network connection over both of them. My GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 440 overclocked to 800MHZ and running 2 monitors a FujiPlus FP-1770 and a Dell E772P CRT. I just gave a complete list of my hardware because sometimes it is necessary to know everything about somebody's PC to know if it will work or not. I would like some help on this so I know if I can upgrade. I cant get a new MB as I recently spent some $ On a new PSU and a HDD in April. The 30GB [EDIT: 40GB] HDD was damaged by the crappy PSU that was in here before when I got this PC a a Friend for helping them set up a new laptop and WIFI router as they were going to get rid of it anyway. I did not like the Hercules 500W at first sight as the fans bogged down with more CPU and GPU load allowing the +12 to hit 10.96V, the +5 to hit 4.4V and the +3.3 to hit 3V (BAD, REALLY REALLY BAD!). They only used it for web browsing and LibreOffice so they probabally did not notice and instability. I could not afford another supply till that one died with a horrific arc blast blackening the wall around it for 3 feet and shooting fire everywhere. Luckily I put 12V, 5V and 3.3V MOVs on the output cables in case it would horribly die and all my components were fine minus the HDD and some MB capacitors which blew later and I unsoldered and replaced with really expensive polymer 10000UF ones from DigiKey. I could not buy a $150 tablet as planned and spent my saved money on a new PSU and HDD. So that is the complete history of my PC and what I have done with it since I got it. But, the question still remains, can I buy it and will it work?
