Roberto,
Well I can say its a socket 478 P4 and you can probably only upgrade to about a 2.4Ghz P4 , probably not much of an upgrade, better to build or buy a new PC for around $500-$600

According to the product website your board supports all intel socket 478 cpu's. Maybe you bought a faulty cpu ?

download and run everesthome
click on the + by motherboard
click on cpu then click on motherboard
the cpu will id the the processor
motherboard will id the FSB speed.

CPU-Z
click on the download latest version, left column
when you unzip and run this it will tell you if the processor is 478 or 479 pin both have 478 pins but location is different.

Dear Carl,

We cannot conclude the video card is working properly until it displays to the screen. One was to tell: If the computer is whining in the case, if you can insert and hear CD music, and if you can hear the hard drive cranking in the case, then its likely your motherboard is working; the video card may be playing possum on you. If it's a PCI, remove it and insert it again. Also check your RAM to make sure it is properly inserted. If the computer is not booting and playing sounds, either the RAM or the VIDEO will be the first culprits.

Keep updating us, ok.

Sadly you wont find any 1066Mhz FSB processors for the Socket 478. The best you can find is the 3.4Ghz with 800Mhz FSB. It might be cheaper and also better value for you to get a Socket 775 based motherboard and Core2 Duo processor. The value range E2160/2180 processors or the E4300/4400 processors have been tested to be even faster than the Socket 775 Pentium Dual 3.4Ghz and they also use less power.

An article on socket 478 for you http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20040123103754.html

see this official cpu support for your board, you can go upto a 2.8ghz northwood P4 cpu http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&prod_no=299&maincat_no=1#menu
