What socket 478 processors are compatible with my Compaq 07e8h motherboard?

I have a very old Compaq Presario (model 6LPXE1 from the 6000T series). It has a Compaq 07E8h motherboard with an Intel P4 2.26GHz currently installed. I would like to upgrade to an Intel Pentium 4 3.0E Prescott 3.0GHz 1MB L2 Cache Socket 478 89W Single-Core Processor - OEM. How can I determine if this CPU is compatible with my motherboard?

I am attaching some system specs from ASTRA32, but the demo version report is truncated. Let me know if any other information would be useful.

I think that the Intel 845G chipset supported at most a 533MHz FSB, not 800MHz like that CPU you're thinking of buying. I'm not sure but the chances that it'll work on your motherboard are slim.

Yeah, Didou, I think you're right. That CPU would just run at 533MHz FBS on my motherboard, so I would only get a fraction of the 3GHz. Good call. It looks like it's not worth it to upgrade to 2.8GHz for $75 or 3.06GHz for $250. Time for a new machine

How about $100?

It's my "go to" site when someone needs an older cpu or ram. Pretty reasonable.
