Help me identify this CPU

[Cr0nJ0b]

I've been doing some digging and I'm still a little confused on which proc this is.

It's an Intel part with the following numbers

LF80539
7708A036 SL9HP


1.66/2M/667
Intel 04

I'm thinking it's a socket 478 part, that's either a xeon or a C2D. I've seen references to both with some of the numbers above. The closest might be this:

My question is what is it and what can i do with it? Is it worth anything?

thanks in advance.

Looks like a …

XEON Intel
LF80539
7739B776 SL9HP 1.66/2M/667

link

... so your Intel link looks correct.

Looks like a Sossaman …ULV 32 bit Yonah (Core Duo) based processor ...

wiki … LV (ULV), "Sossaman"

On 14 March 2006, Intel released a dual-core processor codenamed Sossaman and branded as Xeon LV (low-voltage). Subsequently an ULV (ultra-low-voltage) version was released. The Sossaman was a low-/ultra-low-power and double-processor capable CPU (like AMD Quad FX), based on the "Yonah" processor, for ultradense non-consumer environment (i.e. targeted at the blade-server and embedded markets), and was rated at a thermal design power (TDP) of 31 W (LV: 1.66 GHz, 2 GHz and 2.16 GHz) and 15 W (ULV: 1.66 GHz).[4] As such, it supported most of the same features as earlier Xeons: Virtualization Technology, 667 MT/s front side bus, and dual-core processing, but did not support 64-bit operations, so could not run 64-bit server software, such as Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, and therefore was limited to 16 GB of memory.

Can I use just any 478 motherboard or do I need to find one with this specific proc supported? and is it even worth the effort?

This processor is an Intel® Xeon® LV 1.66 and was used on the E7520 chipset based boards. This processor wouldn’t be usable on any 478 socket board. You can see some additional information on this processor at http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27220.

Probably not worth it unless you can get a compatable MB and some memory for almost free. And you will probably need to find some DDR (not even DDR2) memory to install in it. If you have a MB you could check for support of that processor. Also, since it is only 32 bit you would be limited in memory (3.0GB) and to 32 bit OS.

Hardware is pretty cheap these days when you can get 8GB of DDR3 on sale for $50-60 and get modern dual core processors for well under $100.

If someone needs a simple cheap box to surf the web do email and you can get all the parts together real cheap, then it would be worthwhile, but I wouldn't put much in the way of $ to an outdated processor and system like that.
