when u say socket number do you mean that connects to the casing...in this case 20 or the new 24's that are out

I dunno what socket number your systems uses...P4 uses a variety of skt numbers, right? Download CPUz and it'll tell you your skt number. The socket connects the CPU to the mobo... the pin arrangement varies

 

[gman112287]

never heard of this CPUz could u tell me where i can get it? and is it easy to use.

 

[gman112287]

or do u mean the processor socket number? just thought about that

 

[emeraldice]

Yea yea processor socket number...
for CPUZ
just google cpu-z and it'll be like the first link.

It's probably a socket 478. If that's the case, get the ASUS P4P800SE motherboard. Newegg has it for $94 and it's an excellent board, that gives you many options.

ok when i am looking for the socket number do i look on the box of the processor. or the pins or somethin

 

[Dean66]

Look for the model of the motherboard and then go to the company's web site. They should have a specs page for it that should answer your question.

says on box model name ga-81848p-l

intel 865pe/848p / atx

p4 socket 478 / fsb800

agp 8x / 6ch audio/ sata

3 ddr 400 / 8 usb 2.0

ata100/ lan

So, it definitely is a socket 478 board, so the ASUS board will work.
