I currently have a Northwood Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz (WITHOUT Hyper Threading) socket 478I found an OEM Pentium 4 3.4 Ghz (WITH Hyper Threading) socket 478 that I am interested in.My question is does it matter if it's an OEM or not?? Also, does it have to be a Northwood model?? I looked in the manual for my motherboard and it said Wilamette is not supported, but I just wanted to make absolutely sure. One last question, if it says socket 478, that's it right?? There's nothing else I have to look into to make sure it'll be compatible??Thanks!!I have some questions about upgrading my processor.

I have some questions about upgrading my processor.
It can be any of those. The processor in there now is at only 533 and the box and manual says it can have 800
[QUOTE=''HotScully'']It can be any of those. The processor in there now is at only 533 and the box and manual says it can have 800[/QUOTE]Then the Northwood 3.4Ghz will work in there. That is the highest Pentium4 for that socket.
Great. Thanks for your help.
Don't even waste your time............
