prescott ready?

[jettpinc]

when the descrip for a mobo is prescott ready
does that mean it only suppots prescott cores? or will northwood work as well

thanks

Give me some more info, like the board itself.
They run off of Sockets, so I can only tell if I see the motherboard itself.

Yes, if you had a link to whatever motherboard you are considering we can further assist you.

Prescott Ready mobos are socket 775

that mobo should fit any P4 or celeron that fits socket 478, including prescotts.

 

[ag3]

Prescotts are not only limited to LGA (775).

 

[Leonidas]

well then either the mobo info is wrong or ag3 must be wrong... cause the two contradict quite strongly... hmmm perhaps it has dual processor spots on it dont know if that exists but would be a good idea, prolly cause conflicting shit in your comp, and mobo would have to be massive... maybe its not such a good idea.

 

[ag3]

Trust me. I'm never wrong!

The Prescott features seventy million more transistors (90nm) than the Northwood (130nm). The Prescott is based on Pentium 4 (478) and LGA (775).

ag3 knows what's up
