yoda75 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Hi guys. I just saw that www.newegg.com has the new intel core duos for sale for as little as $258. I also noticed that it requires a socket 478 and 667mhz front side bus. It's been a long time since I put together a PC and I was never all that good at it to begin with ( ) , so I'd like to ask you fine folks a couple of questions. The mobo I have now has the right socket but under the documentation it says it will only support up to 533 FSB. Am I right in assuming that this will not cut it, and is there anything else I should take into consideration when shopping for a compatible mobo for the new core duo? Thanks in advance for your help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9904-will-a-core-duo-cpu-work-on-my-mobo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcA Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 IIRC the core duo chips use a different pinout (yes, it has 478 pins, but that's that). See here. I don't think there's a white box motherboard (you know what I mean) out there that can take core duo chips.

Thanks in advance for your help you will require a mother board that has a 945GT chipset warning serious limitation with this express chipset. no intel pentium 4 support or any other processor except intel pentium m thats all i recommend not to buy a mother board supporting this chipset plz wisit intel and dont try anything stupid with this board Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9904-will-a-core-duo-cpu-work-on-my-mobo/#findComment-70107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
