s479 pentium M

[tjr508]

anyone know where i can find some pentium m procs at some decent prices for the 479 pin boards? can i use a 478 chip in my 479 board (it'll fit and the chipset is compatable)??

Newegg has a few (which they incorrectly describe as Socket 478), though you'll need to make sure whatever board you have can support Dothans. And they're out of stock right now anyway. Intel never made much effort to make these available as retail parts, so you may have trouble finding a good, cheap supplier.

No, you cannot use Socket 478 processors. You also cannot use Core Solos or Core Duos if your board was made for Pentium M (and vice versa).

A celeron M could work, these are much better than old desktop celerons.

If you don't have any qualms about used processors, you can find these quite easily on eBay. The lower-end models can usually be found pretty cheap as well.

Looks like there's a P-M 1.4GHz going for $7 shipped, lol. It's not a Dothan, though, but a Banias (130nm Pentium-M, Dothan was manufactured @ 90nm which allowed for higher speeds and twice the cache).

There are 478 actual pins used, but again "Socket 478" processors are not compatible.
