Will a celeron run on a 478 mobo and a celeron D on a 775 mobo & Sempron on a 754 mobo?

Just interested in some compatibility issue between some cpus and mobos.

Assume that I buy a Celeron D cpu like 331 or 336. Will this processor run (be compatible) together with all motherboards that have a 775 socket?

Assume that I buy a regular Celeron cpu instead of Celeron D. Will this cpu run on all motherboards that have a 478 socket?

Will a Sempron processor run on all motherboards that have a 754 socket?

What are the major differences between a 2.6ghz Celeron and a 2.6ghz Celeron D. cpu?

Any LGA775 celeron D should work on any LGA775 motherboard, but you should always double check the CPU support of the motherboard. There are socket 478 versions of the celeron D as well, and they will obviously not work on an LGA775 motherboard.

As for the regular socket 478 celerons, again it depends on the motherboard. There were williamett, northwood, and prescott based celerons. There are 400mhz FSB, 533mhz FSB, and 800mhz FSB motherboards. Not all socket 478 motherboards support all the differant FSB, nor do they all support the same cores, so you'll have to make sure whatever celeron you were to get, would work with the motherboard you pick.

All socket 754 semprons should be compatible with all the socket 754 motherboards. There are some socket A semprons as well, which would not be compatible with 754 motherboards.

Celeron D's are Prescott based celerons, and they have 256k cache, while the regular celerons have 128k cache. Being prescott based, celeron D's also typicaly run a little hot compared to the northwood or williamette based celeron's.

 
Celerons use a 400fsb, while celeron d's have a 533fsb. I think celeron d's are prescott core based and have more cache.
There are celeron d's for socket 478 and for 775, not just for 775.
There are also some sempron cpus that are 939 pin versions used in some prebuilt systems.
