Hi lads, I want to change my cpu, but I don't know what processor to buy... I have this motherboard and Pentium 4 cpu (2,8 GHz Prescott )... I want to buy 64bit processor that is dual or more core, and that is better and faster than my processor... My motherboard have socket478 connector and I have watched a few processors but I'm not sure that they are compatible with my board... This is a few of them:" http://ark.intel.com/products/40480/Intel-Core2-Quad-Processor-Q9000-(6M-Cache-2_00-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB) ; http://ark.intel.com/products/42014/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-P7550-(3M-Cache-2_26-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB) ; http://ark.intel.com/products/39312/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9900-(6M-Cache-3_06-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB) ...
ps. are this processors only for lap-tops or they are for Pc-es?

Thanks a lot!! :)
 
you can not upgrade that motherboard to a dual core. It is Socket PGA478, which was Pentium 4 and Celeron only. The closest that you will get to Dual Core in it is a HT pentium 4. And even then your performanece will suck.

You will need an upgrade of the motherboard and CPU. I would suggest a Pentium G series on the LGA1155 socket, as it will kick anything available on 478's arse and come back for seconds.

And 478 never supported 64 bit.

assuming that this is your board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131484

Thanks a lot! :)
But did you checked my links? Why there is written "Sockets Supported PGA478"? :)
do you know what is the meaning of that? :)

All those processors you listed are for laptops not desktops. Hence why it says mobile processor.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 Penryn 2.0GHz Socket P 45W Quad-Core Mobile Processor Model BX80581Q9000
