Mobile Celeron Compatibility

[palmmann]

hi y'all, i'm a noob tryin my first from scratch build and i'm planning on using a socket 478 motherboard with a mobile celeron processer. are there compatibility issues? my main concern is that all the specs papges i can find say the proc i want to use(Intel Mobile Celeron 1200 mhz sl63z) has a 133fsb speed. is this the same as a 533? the reason i bought such a cheap proc is i want upgradeability. since my budget is pretty thin, i needed cheap, and you cannot beat $21 for a 1.2ghz proc. the motherboard i'm using is the shuttle av49pn. Please help!

As far as I know all Intel's mobile chips are socket 479 whereas that motherboard is a socket 478. I know Asus makes a converter, but I'm not sure of its compatibility or its price. You might be better off just buying a Celeron D for $65.

has a 133fsb speed. is this the same as a 533?

Yes, it has a FSB of 133MHz "quad pumped" to a bus speed of 533MHz.

i looked up in intel's proceser spec guide and it says 478, heres the link http://processorfinder.intel.com/sc...ocFam=58&PkgType=ALL&SysBusSpd=ALL&CorSpd=ALL
if this is correct, than should it work?

I guess they make socket 478 and 479 versions, my bad . You should be good to go, definitely won't have and power issues
