I have a P4S533 Mother board and the socet is a 478, was thinking of upgrading the processor to a faster one. Is that possible or will the mother board now 7 years old not accept any newer types?
Also if one bought a new mother board and processor and put it into the computer, would the hard drive and the operating system and all of the loaded software run like normal, or would the new mother board and processor look like a new computer to the operating system and installed software no longer work. If this is the case, then what would be the easiest way to make this conversion. My operating system is XP Pro.
Thanks for any help on this
