I was just wondering if there is any DUAL CORE CPU for 478 socket, i currently have dell dimension 3000 series desktop with P4 cpu 2.8GHz, 1M cache, 533FSB, but i am sure, this motherboard supports up to 800 FSB CPU`s.. is there any link that i can buy directly , dual core CPU`s... thank you...

"In 2002 Intel released a 130nm version of Xeon branded CPU, codenamed "Prestonia". It supported Intel's new Hyper-Threading technology, and had 512KB L2 cache. This was based on the "Northwood" Pentium 4 core."

Meaning it is a Single-Core processor.

Scroll down.

400MegaHertz Front Side Bus. (400MHz FSB)

"The 7300 series, codenamed Tigerton (product code 80565) is a four socket (packaged on Socket 604) and more capable ->
QUAD-CORE processor.................."

1066MegaHertz Front Side Bus. (1066MHz FSB)

The motherboard uses the Intel E7505 motherboard chipset,

Note the - Processor FSB supported -

533MegaHertz

ONLY supports Single-Core processors, too.

The answer is No

First of all you can't replace a hard drive with a CPU (AMD Phenom X2 is a processor), second your computer supports only socket 478 CPU's ( that means no AMD Phenom only older Intel Pentiu 4/Celeron CPUs. My recommendation is to replace the motherboard and CPU altogether. But since your knowledge is relatively low i think you should not do it by yourself.

The Socket P has 478 pins, but is not pin-compatible with Socket M or Socket 478. Socket P is also known as a 478-pin Micro FCPGA or μFCPGA-478. Google it for stores that carry dual core Socket P chips.

in short, no
her cpu is a 775 socket, yours is 478 socket
her ram is ddr2, your is ddr1

would have to downgrade her parts to use your motherboard

I don't believe that's going to work for you.

According to what I've read that machine won't support a CPU with a FSB higher than 533.

Intel Pentium 4 Socket-T (LGA775) with Hyper-Threading or Dual-Core support, cache 1MB or 2Mb for 9100, or just 2Mb cache for 9150. I know of some of these machines having pentium D installed but I do not believe a Core 2 Duo is an option, whereas Dual-Core is. Good Luck!

Do you know what the CPU socket is or chipset? If the CPU socket is a 478 then no dual core. If it a 775 then you might be able to use a Pentium D dual core w/ 800MHz FSB.
If you have a 945 chipset then the above will be true.

Hi Rlforeard, yes the BX80546PG3000E is compatible with the motherboard P4I65G.

Here is the list from Asrock. CPU's supported for the Asrock P4I65G board. You will find you can go higher.

HII MARLBOROMANZ ,
YEAH THE PROCESSOR IS BIT SLOW FOR GAMES TO RUN PROPERLY.

I WOULD SUGGEST U TO BUY MOTHERBOARD THATS INTEL 965G AND CORE2DUO PROCESSOR.

U DONT NEED TO UPFRADE THE RAM AND VIDEO CARD U CAN USE THEM IN NEWLY UPGRADED MOTHERBOAD AND PROCESSOR.

I AM SURE U WILL ENJOY GAMES IF U UPGRADE ONLY OTHERBOARD AND PROCESSOR.REST ALL IS FINE.

The specs say it's a 'Celeron D socket 478' 2.4gh processor. Try this website: http://www.pricewatch.com/cpu/
