Celeron D PC-FGA4

[gully2005]

im wondering it the Celeron D 330, will work on my motherboard?
my motherboard is Gigabyte GA_8SIMLNF. it says this on the readme thing that came with it,
Support for the Intel Pentium 4 FC-PGA2 processor in socket mPGA 478B.
Socket mPGA 478B
Supports Intel® Pentium 4™ FC-PGA2 processor
Does anyone know if the Celeron D will work on my motherboard? cause i dont have any money to really upgrade it

It is a socket 478. It will run a Celeron D 330, unless you're talking about the 330J (which is a LGA775).

yeah but its a new prescott core? will that make a difference, anybody know??

It shouldn't.

It may need a BIOS update, at the most.

well i just asked the computer shop and they said my motherboard doesn't support it, and there are no bios updates for this piece of KRAP
