low price for 478/423 Motherboard, a new design or a temp. solution?

[dorsal]

I find this motherboard deal onhere. It specify its a 478 or 423 motherboard, I got a little bit confuse, I think it is a good solution for the mess up of Intel's CPU. As everybody know, Intel announced too many new different CPUs, P4 have 2 different sockets; PIII celeron has 2 different sockets, now celeron have a new 478 design.Oh.....it's a kind of disaster for buyers and sellers.
Anyway, need advices for this M/B. Is it a good choice for such a low price?Is Intel going to announce another new CPU different from 478 socket?

PC Chips motherboards are low quality, but that does seem very cheap for a P4 mobo.

Still wondering how they're supporting both socket formats when the pin count and sizes are different. Maybe an adapter?

The Amptron page Link shows this as a 423 only board. I wonder if the dealer got something confused

Yes, their website describe the M/B is with a 478 adapter, so you can put a Socket 423 or socket 478 P4 CPU.Any suggestion?

you can get an adapter from power leap now. also why get a 423 board? you can get a 423 board on ebay for like $10. much better boards can be had on newegg refurb usually, there is even a shuttle microatx, with lan, video , sound, pm266 chipset etc, in the new section for about the same price at newegg.
