I have the exact same one (SL5CK) that I used to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 4100.

 

[RandomFool]

whoa i wonder if this will work in my old beast

 

[codeyf]

Wish I could put this in my IBM X21 I'm selling

 

[MunkeeBoy]

I noticed that this is a socket 478 chip. Will this work in a socket 478 desktop board?

 

[dugweb]

:Q I have an IBM T21... pentium III 800mhz. I really don't have any clue, would this new processor work for it?

I have T21 too, why don't u try it and let me know. But seriously, T21 runs at 100 FSB and this runs at 133, so I don't think it will work.

NO! Do not put this processor in a S478 Pentium4 motherboard.

Bad geeks, BAD!!!

Will this work for the Dell Inspiron 8100 (AKA: The Beast)?

Summary:
With a simple adapter, Intel's Pentium M processor can be used on veteran mainboards based on the i865 and i875 chipsets. Would you believe that this unorthodox combination proves to be so fast that it beats even the Athlon 64 FX and the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition?!

And if I remember right, I thought there were mods that let you skip the adapter on some motherboards too... hmm

bad bearxor... bad...

Pentium III-M != Pentium M

 

[ElFenix]

this isn't a pentium m. it's not socket 478 either. it's socket 370.

 

[labgeek]

hadn't noticed he said 3... saw the 478 and assumed. thought about picking one up too... glad I didn't.

 

[newbs]

mobile pIII's are skt 478 and not skt 370 regular PIII's are skt 370. Also if you do not belive me hopefully you will believe intel http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/details.asp?sSpec=SL5CK
or maybe they are wrong as well.

 

[Geforce man]

so, will this work on an older s478 board? if so im picking one up, i have a bd7II that needs a cpu

 

[manno]

these may be 478, but I doubt you cna plug a p3 478, into a p4 478 motherboard. If anyone can tell otherwise, please post. Otherwise if you're buying this to plug into a P4 mobo, don't, you'll probably ruin one, the other, or possibly both.

 

[Geforce man]

i fear this as well, im checking around online to see if anybody knows, or if there is specific motherboard compatability for this processor. so if i find anything, ill report back, i would love if anybody else will leave back info if they find anything out also.

interesting.

anyway, even if it physically fits (which it might not) it doesn't have the electrical signalling required of the quad pumped bus for the socket 478 pentium 4s. pentium 3s used single pumped busses

I would like to know as well. I have couple of old boards gathering dust and would love to put them to a good use.

These Processors (P3-M) WILL NOT WORK on P4, socket-478 motherboards.

show us proof!

zeroidea is correct. The most simple "proof" is that the processors pinouts are totally different. If you want confirmation, check page 68 in the Mobile Pentium III datasheet, page 57 in the Pentium M datasheet and page 40 in the Pentium 4 datasheet. The Mobile Pentium III is keyed like the Pentium M, so it won't fit in a desktop board, and won't work on a Pentium M mobile board.

Why would anyone assume a Mobile P3 would work on a P4 board? That's pretty silly.
