Why not download CPU-Z or SIW (system information for Windows) Here; https://www.techspot.com/downloads/155-siw-system-info.html , and know for sure.BishopLord said:Thanks. I understand which chip to get, I just wanted to know if I needed to set any jumpers or would it just be plug and play. The other person answered this question for me. Thanks again.
In regards to the 2.4ghz -- I believe it is not a P4, but a Celeron 2.4, because I checked the sellers other auction and he has more of them but is now advertising that they are celerons and they are going for far less now, around $60.
I thought that was the reason for EbayBishopLord said:The guy is using deceptive marketing.
BishopLord said:Thanks for replying, but you know darn well that if I created my own thread I would have gotten the old "USE THE SEARCH NOOBIE!" response. Can't win for anything I guess. My question was along the same line as the OP so that is why I posted here. I even waited about a week before asking this question for fear that I would get some negative response. But thanks man.
Perhaps it might be a 2.4 P4, instead of a 2.4 Celeron, that would cool, I guess I'll found out when it arrives
Zenosincks said:No, I don't know that. In fact, I'd wager that you would have gotten the same help you did in this thread minus the comments about starting your own because that is what usually happens on the TechSpot forums. I don't know what forum community you're accustomed to that is home to people who put you down for starting a thread, but, it's not how things work here.
Yes, you will find out when it arrives. Until then, hold off on any purchases...
Try and make less assumptions about others, you might be surprised.
captaincranky said:Those socket 478 P4s are getting harder and harder to find. Actually, as you pointed out, the faster Celerons aren't exactly slugs, but they don't mulit-task that well, partly due to the smaller caches. Plenty of memory should help big time.
Anyway, here's two at Newegg; http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010340343+1051707443&name=Socket+478
The cheaper "Northwood" would be the better buy (IMO), let's see what the others say.

Peronally it is not really worth it you should just buy or build a new one!!!
nazgool19711 said:when you upgrade ram make sure each mem stick is the same size like 1 gig and 1 gig because the motherboard will be able allocate the work load better and faster and you will also see a difference in speed!!
Rage_3K_Moiz said:Good idea using MX-2 with that Prescott. It'll keep it from running uncomfortably hot. All in all, a major upgrade from the crappy Celeron CPU methinks. It's great you took the time to post back with results, so anyone looking for some help with the same issue can see what you got, and how it affected your PC's performance.
