Looking for an socket 478 MB
Hey all, I need an older MB socket 478 I think it is?
CPU: Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 519
Operates at 3.06GHz
1MB L2 cache and 533MHz FSB
above is the processor, My brother in law has an emachine he gave me with everything i need to make a low,low budget gamer for my son and I am hoping someone has a old MB they would be willing to part with. The board this pc has now is smoked,If I were in a perfect world I would want a board with a single PCI-e. Thanks in advance

Re: Looking for an socket 478 MB
Pentium 4 519? That's LGA775 - the "numbered" Pentium 4s were after the 478 days.

Re: Looking for an socket 478 MB
I MIGHT have a 478 board if that is what you need. Only thing is that I'm pretty sure it's got an AGP slot.

Re: Looking for an socket 478 MB
Ven you got a couple of things to consider as the cpu is a 533 mhz chip so the 400 and 800 memory may give you some trouble. It is a 775 socket which supports P4 thru quad core processors and is probably the most versatile socket.
I just finished rebuilding my P4 and managed a 4.4 Vista rating which isn't shabby but is easily surpassed by some of the mobo/cpu combo's you can find as barebones kits. You will be able to find a mobo with pci-e support for your processor but I picked up a Sapphire HD3850 (agp) that supports Directx10 for a little over a hundred.

Re: Looking for an socket 478 MB
I'll check when I get home, but I'm fairly certain that the board I've got has a 478 P4 2.4 Ghz in it too. Yours for cheap if that's what I got.

Re: Looking for an socket 478 MB
Its a P4 socket 775 with a 533 FSB?? I thought all the prescotts with hyperthreading were 800 FSB. Even second gen 478 P4 had an 800 FSB. I dont doubt that its a 775 chip if you popped the heatsink Im just saying ive never seen or heard of it.

Re: Looking for an socket 478 MB
If you need a cheap setup I have an old Asus CUSL2 MB, Processor, and mem laying around. I think the processor is a P4 (haven't popped the heatsink and fan). Let me know

Re: Looking for an socket 478 MB
I've got a 775 board still new in the box for like $30 bucks.
I can get the specs if that's something you're in interested in. I got it with my C4Q in a package deal from Fry's.

Re: Looking for an socket 478 MB
Well, I'll be darned. A 533 FSB P4 does exist for the LGA775 socket... Goodness, I wonder if Intel was really that desperate to sell those chips.

For about $45, you can get this Foxconn G31 board on NewEgg which also supports 533 FSB. I think a few reviewers said they managed to get a Pentium 4 running on the board (look to make sure for yourself).
Hopefully that helps you out Ven.
P.S. NewEgg no longer carries any LGA775 boards that support 533Acreo Aeneas
