Hi
I have seen in some stores a conversor for my 423 pin socket motherboard to use the newer 478 pin cpus.
As I want to upgrade to a Northwood processor, I wanted to know if with this conversor this upgrade could be made, or my motherboard wont detect the nwe processor ? Will there be a bios problem or so?
Thanks for your help

I have never heard that, but i found THIS and now know that they do exist. If it does work, but about the bios, i really dont know if it will support it. Check the site to see if there is a new bios update.

SSXeon
 
probably the bios won't support all the feature of 478 willie or nw
but the performance (benchmark)i think will be on the middle between
the original 423 and 478. i remembered it just like they have a adapter for
pentium 200 and up mmx to the original socket 7.

nice link for a reference SSXeon, this is the first ime i saw it exist.

peace
 
Are you talking about the Northwood versus regular p4's?
I was thinking about a 2.0Ghz Northwood which has the top clock speed my motherboard can theorethycally support
