I've got a 2.2gHz Northwood on an 850xt chipset Asus motherboard (socket 478). The manual doesn't say "must have northwood" but does specifically mention "the northwood" chip in several places.
However, I don't find northwood chips for sale any more, and I want to upgrade up to a 3.2gHz or faster.
Do the newer cores work with this motherboard? If so, which core would work best? What are my limits in terms of processor speed?
I'm asking here because the manual doesn't address this.
