What, if anything, keeps a prescott P4 from working in any socket 478 Motherboard?
I sold the 2.0 northwood celeron from my secondary computer's Asus P4T533. I wanted to replace it with the prescott 2.4A but Asus didnt claim the P4T533 supported the CPU. I didnt have the time to work it out, and ordered a 2.4C instead. Im almost certain the 2.4A would have worked fine, but couldnt take the chance.
Whats the real deal?
