I just bought a Intel Core Duo CPU to find out it doesn't fit in my socket 478. I think it is a socket 479. Is there an adapter that I can use to make it fit?
Thanks
Thanks

The name of the new sockets. They didn't use a number like they have been with socket 370 or socket 478someone153 said:Socket T is...

Ok your right I just went and looked but Socket T and Socket 775 are the same thing.someone153 said:

Actually there are Pentium D and Pentium EE processors that are on Socket T of Socket 775 what every ou want to call it. All of these are Pentium D and Pentium EE and they aren't socket 478.Didou said:That is completely wrong. The current Core Duo does not use the same socket as Pentium-D or Pentium-EE. You need to either find a Socket-478 board that specifically supports the Core Duo with a 478-to-479 socket converter or one with the Socket-479 on it (as the ones he linked).
Ok I am just going to take a step back and take a deep breathe here I think maybe I got confused. I was going off of this.Didou said:He doesn't have a Socket 775 CPU. For one a Socket 775 doesn't even have pins, it has contacts & the pins are on the motherboard.
The CPU he has is loaded with pins on the underside so it can't possibly be for Socket 775.
ps. Core Duo = Pentium - M just with an extra core, more cache & some virtualisation features, nothing more.

I can understand that and I don't mean to give out misinformation. I just misread this one or somethingDidou said:I'm not mad or anything no worries, it's just that a lot of misinformation sometimes gets posted & with the amount of posts on the forums, the people that do know the answer don't always get a chance to post it.
As the forum is very popular with many pages showing up on Google, it would be a shame for these same pages to have bad information.
Thanks for that!nork said:Jimbo420, we have all given wrong info or advice at some time, or at least most of us have. That is fairly easy to do. What isnt always easy for some people is to admit they were wrong, thats where the boys get separated from the men, and of course you belong with the men!
