| 469422 | 2006-07-08 13:35:00 | Hi jjsc. We did an upgrade like this with no problems. Just make sure the CPU socket is the same. If you are upgrading from a 2.5 to a 3.0 on the 478 socket, you probably wont feel a big difference. What I recommend is maybe upgrading your motherboard to a Socket LGA775 as well as getting a new socket LGA775 CPU. If not, you should not have any problems with your upgrade, but just to be safe, your motherboard specifications would be ideal. (I hope you know if your motherboard's FSB is 533Mhz, your new cpu will run at that speed, even though it may be 800mhz). |
