I'm getting mixed answers from this spreadsheet. How many pins does a Pentium M have? 478 or 479?

You've got to count them . I guess it's similar to 939/940 differences... it's all in the last pin

 

[Megadeth2]

yeah but the desktop boards for pm are all 479

Well that is very strange because not only is there one more pin, but BGA stands for Ball Grid Array, which is a completely different socket interface

BGA has shorter pins. I know about that.

Not quite

Still, the board will run with that since it says socket 479.
