Blackh4wk Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 hey guys, how do you identify whether you have a 478 socket or 423 socket on for your pentium 4? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 normaly it says right on the socket ( the little piece of plastic that your chip fit's into) but I imagine there is some out there that dont. so check out this page http://www.intel.com/support/processors/pr...rocid/ptype.htm it's got pictures and stuff.

Hellafax Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Socket478 is SUPER-Tiny. Maybe an inch across. Socket423 is rather large (size of a PIII). Plus if you take off the fan, the socket type is Embossed on the socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
