This post may belong in the mobo forum, I thought I'd try it here first.
apologies to all if I have that wrong.
Newbie question 1
Will a Northwood P4 CPU run in a Willamette socket 478 mobo?
I was given a working Abit BD7-II mobo with a Celeron 1.7GHz 128/400/1.75V
It has the 845E chipset which supports 400 and 533 MHz FSB.
The bios also supports 400, 533 and hyper threading.
I want to upgrade the processor.
I believe the fastest Willamette P4 is 2.0 GHz 256/400/1.75V
A Northwood P4 has 512/533/1.5V plus a higher clock. But will it work?
Question 2:
What type of 184 pin DDR RAM (not DDR2) runs at 533MHz?
thanks for your help!
