Where r the 478's?

[hatchmar]

I know I can shop around but I was on tigerdirect today and there are only 3 P4 socket 478 chips left. anybody know why this is? there isnt even a list of socket 478's on the main CPU page anymore

Well socket 478 is a dead technology...LGA775 (socket T) is the replacement.

Kinda weird how the only have three tho....i mean its "dead" but it is still widely used.

it is the replacement but does that mean socket 478's will fit in the LGA775? probably not, huh? I already bought a 478 MoBo thinking that I was going to use the CPU that I currently have, but I want to upgrade to 800fsb.
