What mother board do I have to buy for my CPU? [ 56K ]

Post by mayo »

I bought an intel P4 CPU a while ago, and two mother boards. The first mother board didn't support 533 Mhz FSB. (I bought it for 12 bucks, so not too much wasted) The second board, doesn't support prescott CPU's... (When I bought the board, it said nothing about not supporting prescott CPU's) And now before I buy a third one, I want to ask a bunch of pro's on many different web site to find the right mother board. Here is a pic I recently took with most of the CPU's info: (I'll see what I can do if you need info) Image I think the socket type is a 478. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Oops, I thought you meant to type hobo :P The last two mother boards I bought support socket 478, but they both had little secrets that they didn't tell me untll I boght it. Hopefully since this board is intel, and the CPU is intel, they will work... I just want some one that knows what they are doing to tell me if this board will work with that CPU or not...
