Looking at Upchipping a Socket 478 Mobo

Post by Einhander Sn0m4n »

What's the canonical list of CPUs that can fit on a Socket 478 interface? I'd also like a short description (advantages and disadvantages pretty much) of each CPU model. Lata and Happy Fragging! :mrgreen:

It would kinda help if I told yall my mobo specs in case any particular CPU might not work, take full advantage of, or be taken fully advantage of by the mobo...

your motherboard's homepage should have a list of what chips are compatible with the model # of the board you have.

That's a pretty good motherboard, actually. Intel has good documentation as well, just go to their site.
