AFAIK 423 = Willamette and 478 = Northwood.

What does Northwood supposed to mean???

Willamette=256k cache, socket 478
Northwood=512k cache, socket 478--ie: 1.6a, 1.8a--the "a" denotes Northwood.

only the "A" = northwood...socket 478 doesn't necessary means northwood core...you also have to check for the cache size...there are 256k and 512k...only 512k L2 cache = northwood core.
