I need to upgrade my current pc to dual processor for use with a Hauppagge PVR. I have intel d850 mv with 3.00 processor dual threaded) . Any suggestion for a new dual core processor I can just drop in easily with same heat sink/fan?

There are no dual-core CPUs that will work in a Socket 478 board. The fastest Socket 478 CPU is a 3.4 GHz single-core, two-threaded unit (the 3.4 GHz Extreme Edition.) Dual-core CPUs were only released for the newer LGA775 socket, none were released for 478.

------------------------------ Upcoming Overdue Build: Dual-socket workstation, ~32 GB DDR3, OS on a fast SSD, high-end GPU, all wrapped up in a huge tower case. Coming H2 2011.

Yes, I am actually still running the Pentium III 1.0B Coppermine in the picture.

Yeah no dual cores on socket 478. Looks like its time for a new mobo my friend.

There's also a 3.2 GHz Prescott with HT that should work in that motherboard:

We're still running one in an ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard
with i875 chipset and PGA478 socket as a storage server
== pretty close to what you have.

Check out the prices on Corsair's ValueSelect DDR-400:

We upgraded that 875 machine with this Corsair XMS, but Newegg does not carry it any longer:

(really nice DDR memory: super fast!)

If you want to keep that 850 chipset, I would suggest opting
for the 3.4 GHz CPU in order to squeeze out max performance.

Hyperthreading does make a measurable difference --
just not as great as dual-cores.

You're going to pay a premium on a 478 chip, especially if you go for the extreme edition. If you're noticing slowdowns, your probably better off getting a new system.

If you need help building a new system, you can post a query with your budget intended uses, etc. in the New System part of the forum.

As said, last chip that was made for 478 was a single core Pentium 4 EE. But I think they went up to 3.73GHz for it.

Your best bet is a new system.

Alas, it was only 3.4 GHz; the 3.73 GHz came with the then new socket 775.

Ahh yes. I thought they went higher but forgot they didn't.

I have a 3.4GHz EE in my old system. Got it for $150. Was actually a pretty big upgrade from my 3.2GHz. I think it was due to the larger L2 1MB cache as well as the 2MB L3 cache it had. Cut my DVD ripping time from 25 minutes to about 7 minutes.
