What chip set supports Pentium-M 715

[albohm]

Does anyone know what chip sets will support a Pentium-M 715 CPU? The processor is a 478 pin CPU and not a 479 pin as the current CPUs are. It runs on a 400 MHz FSB. I want to use it on a desktop motherboard. I'm not sure how some of the older boads will identify it. I thought I would try it on an ASUS P4P800 (intel 865PE) because the board will run at 400 MHz.

If it's a 715 pentium m, it's a socket 479 chip, technically it only has 478 pins, but they are in different locations then the pentium 4 socket 478 pins. If you have a socket 478 p4 processor also, compare the corner pins, they should be different.

That being said, dfi's 855gme board will support it as well as aopens two 915gme boards. The shuttle SD11g5 supports it as well. I believe aopen has a new tiny sff that supports it as well (looks kinda like a mac mini) but it takes notebook memory and has a notebook expansion slot for wireless/bluetooth.

There are socket adapters available that would allow using it in a 478 socket. The DFI and A-Open boards are outrageously expensive, $200 range I believe. The proc may not be a 715, but Intel's web site shows it to be a 478 pin die. The FSB is listed as 100 MHz with an x15 multiplier. I think it may boot in a I865PE chip set board. Its low wattage requirement should allow decent over clocking. I bought the processor from Mwave for $45, new in a retail box. They were clearing them out. It may work in my old Dell 8100 laptop (Pentium III mobile with a 478 socket). I think this processor has limited mobo compatibility and that's the reason it sold so cheap. I was hoping it would work as well as the AMD mobile processors in a desktop. The AMD mobile O/Cs like a raped ape. 2.5 GHz is the norm with a 200+ MHz FSB at default Vcore and moderate air cooling. Any way, this P-M should work in something.
Thanks for your reply.

The proc cost $45; the CT-479 adapter cast $50; the referb ASUS P4P800SE cost $52. That's less than $150 for CPU, adapter, H/S fan and the MOBO. I think that's pretty cheap.

You can use the asus adapter, but you'll be stuck with agp for graphics unless you can find the non-US board that came with pci-e. I was pricing one on ebay, but it ended up selling for $353. I have both a 715 and a 750 that I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with yet.

The lack of pci-e is no deal breaker. This setup may find it's way into a SFF/MCE platform.
