| 350224 | 2005-04-29 10:06:00 | Does anyone know of a motherboard that has PCIe that will work with a P4 2.53 Northbridge CPU? Ta |

| 350226 | 2005-04-30 01:24:00 | do you mean northwood? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 350227 | 2005-04-30 01:44:00 | I would guess he means Northwood, as Northbridge is a chipset of a motherboard. | ILikeLinux (1669) | ||
| 350228 | 2005-04-30 02:57:00 | Yeah, he must mean northwood . As far as I know Intel never made a PCI-Express for the Northwood CPU (or any 478 pin CPU) as they only designed the PCI-E bus for the LGA775 series of CPUs . In short: No . There are no PCI-E boards that support Northwood, or any 478pin Intel CPU . |

Asus has one here ( . asus . com . tw/products4 . aspx?modelmenu=2&model=425&l1=3&l2=12&l3=158" target="_blank">www . asus . com . tw) Don't think there is one that supports the Northwood but other 478 variation mobo's are out there but they are hard to find . cheers chiefnz |

| 350230 | 2005-05-01 09:02:00 | My mistake. I see that board uses Intel's 915PL chipset. I didn't know that chipsets could be grafted onto boards that they weren't originally designed for. Well, anyway. Guess I learn something. It's not clear whether the Asus board would support a Northwood CPU though. Asus say that their board can handle 533/800MHz CPUs and the Northwood range is listed as 800MHz on Toms Hardware. |

Northwoods can come with 533 or 800 FSB. |

| 350232 | 2005-05-02 08:35:00 | northwoods are the mad overclockers :) have a look here (www.pricespy.co.nz). its a list of socked 478 motherboards, and some other mobos too |
