Nobody has a list of cpu's that will work with p4m800-m7a 7.0

Nobody has a list of cpu's that will work with this mobo. Biostar P4M800-M7A Ver. 7.0. It was sold as compatible with dual core cpu's, but no-one has a list of which intel 775 dual cores. Did New Egg lie? Tigerdirect lie? Long story short Radeon brought back the agp system, but little to my knowing, the 3.2 celeron d, sporting 256 L2 would be a huge bottleneck. If no-go on dual core does anybody know if a p4 3.6 2mb L2 W/HT will make a worthwhile diff.

    I guess all of the people in the reviews section at new egg that said they had used dual cores successfully in the boards that were sold as dual core boards were lying. And I guess that new egg, AND still tigerdirect were lying too, when they sold them as dual core capable? Did you go to biostars website? If you did, the only list they have is for the P4800-M7 NOT the M7A 7.0. Contacting Biostar customer will get you NO answers, they dont know sht about the product other than what was written six years ago in the manual that was used for more than just the M7A 7.0. Is there anybody with an answer that knows something about computers, not just how to google my MOBO product #, or contact the "manual readers" at biostar? Sorry elecminjus, but you couldnt even give me a ghz max, which there was when I bought it. Cant remember if the max was 3.2 3.4 or 3.6., either way, your answer did not come from your familiarity with the VIA NB/SB, and biostar, but more from the miraculous ability to search the web, which does NOT have a list for the M7A ver. 7.0. I need help from a computer whiz, not an internet whiz. I knew I should have stayed away from that bargain board, fcking biostar. Thanks for the try I guess elecminjus

    So it will take Pentium D and work? I am wanting to spend 40-50 bucks on a CPU upgrade for an obviously old system. With the HD3850 it played the new wolfenstein rather well, but I could tell the CPU is a new weak link, not my ati9600pro. The pentim D is about the same price as a Pentium 4 and if it will work faster than why not? Are you saying that it will not work? If you were trying to get the most out of this system for around 50 more bucks, what would you do? P4 3.2 or 3.4 2mb L2 800fsb, or PD, 3.x 2-4mbL2 800fsb dual core. Too risky with PD 8xx?

The p4m800-m7a v7.0 will work with a pentium d. I am currently running the p4m800-m7a v7.0 with a pentium d 2.8ghz and it works perfectly.

It supports the following processors

LGA 775 P4 Prescott
Celeron-D processors

up to 800MHz FSB with Hyper-Threading Technology

    for your info your motherboard is capable of taking in only the earlier version of dual core called the Pentium D series which was not very successfull. So ultimately it means that you will never get a dual core processor working on your board.

    as for as the normal pentium series with HT you can have processors upto a max of 3.4Ghz with 2MB of L2

Como saber si la placa p4m800-m7a soporta varios tipos de prosesador

transLated:
How to know if the p4m800-m7a board supports various types of processor, 2005 MOBO RELIC. XP ERA.

What types of processors are supported.

ask them only they know this,(OOPS THEY FORGOT)
they check it in there bios too so bios must be current to allow maximum CPU choices.
the maker does not support antique MOBO now.
this mobo was made in 8 versions !, which is yours?
this is VIA chip set relic, no OS supports that now modern.
P4 is the CPU and Old Pentium D
socket 775 only. CPU, M7A LAYOUT.
BIOSTAR ENDED SUPPORT, (ASK THEM YET?)(gone)

HERE IS THE MASTER LIST (MEANS PURE LOGIC)

click 775 then click Pentium D
this is the AMD chip logic list not what 2005 year bios allows, (lost now that)

https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-VIA_(chipsets)/P4M800.html

buy one and try, but all the other chips too are obsolete and not supported in newer OS. (above XP 2001)

Sound driver

Your motherboard is a BIOSTAR right ?

Ok there are 2 versions I will post the drivers for those 2 versions.

P4M800-M7A v1.0
http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en%2Dus/mb/driver.php?S_ID=92

These are the complete drivers, the sound driver is there too under onboard audio.

P4M800-M7A v7.0
http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en%2Dus/mb/driver.php?S_ID=93

From what I can see they both use the same drivers.

I hope this helps.

The elitegroup website has a similar name but no A at the end
P4M800-M7
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?detailid=531&DetailName=Driver&DetailDesc=&CategoryID=1&MenuID=6&LanID=0

So from your model I would say it is a biostar, get it from the links above, if it is an elitegroup (ECS) get it from the last link.

Motherboard doesn´t work

You also have a manual for the Biostar? Find the serial No# printed on the Mb. Usaully found on a white sticker found on the serial port. With the serial No# in hand look up your board on Biostar's web site. Download the manual. You will find what CPU's your MB can take.
