Personally, I've never heard of socket 479!!! Dont think it exists. It should be socket 478. That was just probably a typo.

There are 479 pin dothans. Go here and choose intel pentium M, there are socket 478 and socket 479 dothans. The 478 pin chips are not compatible with 479 pin motherboards, nor are the 478 pin pentium m's compatible with normal 478pin desktop boards, as the chips are not electricaly compatible.

So far there's no way to use the 479 pin pentium "M" on socket 478 boards

Ther are 2 board makers that make a desktop 479 pin board put are very expensive

here's a review..

Are you talking about a laptop or desktop ?

Either way laptop or desktop there's no way to use the 479 socket cpu on a 478 socket
