VT enabled 478 socket CPU for Gygabyte GA-8IPE1000G ?

[yitzhakbg]

I have a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000G M/B for which I want to upgrade the CPU (only) to a VT enabled model. Does anyone know of such a model. It's a shame to throw out the M/B and memory, but the VT capability is important.
Thanks.

I don't think you will find any VT enabled S478 processor.
For a moment I was thinking about mobile CPUs (core solo / duo etc.)
but I don't think your motherboard will support it.

Donate the system and go for a new platform.

Is there a socket converter which would enable placing a 775 CPU in the socket? If so, does it work OK. Are there problems with it?

Nope

VT only became available on LGA775 Processors... Cedar Mill 6x1(D0 stepping only)Pentium 4, and Presler 9x0 Pentium D. :|

Thanks for the responses. How much slower would VMWare or Parallels run on a non-VT processor like the 3.0Ghz Pentium 4 I have now than on a VT enabled processor? If it's only slightly slower, then maybe I could still get by with my current machine.
Anybody have figures?

I have never run VM's, so i don't know. That's likely something Baron would know.

I am running a single VM on a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz system now, as well as playing music, surfing the web and have AV/firewall etc running. The VM will only struggle if you run some monster app on it (SQL Server, Linpack, Adobe Premier). Other wise it works really well, on a single CPU core without VT. if you need more than one VM or need large app's then you will need two or more cores and LOTS of ram.
