Intel P4 Prescott Question

[Twitch22]

Hello Everyone.

Does anyone know which, if any, of Intel's "current" chipsets support the old 775-socket Pentium 4 Prescotts? Last I heard, the old 975x chipset was the last "official" chipset to offer P4 support from Intel, but those boards are long gone from the retail market.

I have a Pentium 4 Prescott laying around (3.0 GHz, 800mHz FSB, HT-Enabled) that I'd like to find some use for as a media-server, etc. Just hoping I can find a m/b that will be able to run it!

Thanks for any help or suggestions...

It may well be cheaper (and better) to just sell the P4 and jump on a low end modern cpu+mobo combo deal, probably an athlon x2 and AM3 or something along those lines.

Its not the chipset, its the board VRM design. There are or were P965, P35, and P45 boards, all launched after 975X, that support Pentium D and P4. Check the manufacturer CPU support charts.

you could also check around on the fs/ft section of the website and find a used or maybe new board from a forum member for pretty cheap usually

You should be able to fine cheap motherboard on ebay used.

If you don't need much features I have tons of old hp boards laying around here at work I can send you pm if needed.

Good board for older parts, has AGP, DDR1, etc. It's a VIA based chipset, btw.
