Will this cpu work?I heard you can overclock these and they perform better then a pent 4.

Nope, Pentium-Ms won't work in that mb.

would you have to find a mobo that supported Pentium Ms ?

Is it because the motherboard won't reconize the cpu?
Voltage dosen't seem to be a problem.

No, it's because it's an entirely different processor. They even have a different amount of pins, with different pinouts. There's only one motherboard that I've ever heard of anyone putting a Pentium-M in. I can't remember the name of the board, but it's made by Asus, and requires an adapter that Asus used to sell, to be able to funtion in that particular board.

Actually, Intel had Pentium M 760's in both 478 and 479 packages, but as myocardia said even the 478 version is not pin-compatible with S478 mobos.

You need to have the 915GME chipset to use the CPU, though.

Thank you.

CT-479 was the adapter Asus sold, but it only supported Asus boards. There were reports of it working on other boards though.

Abit and perhaps some others sold small volumes of "Socket 479" motherboards, but they were rare even when they were in production.

Ahh, I had forgotten that the first Pentium-M's were Skt 478. Man, I must be getting old.
