Is it worth anything? I just got one from a laptop that had a bad LCD. The CPU has apparently been discontinued (Northwood Core). It has 512L2 Cache and a 400MHz FSB. Would this work with the CT-479 adapter on the Asus mobos?
I'm just trying to see if it's worth hanging on to, or even more to the point, how easily it would be to get this working in a desktop motherboard.
Thanks in advance....
No, that is a P4M which is an entirely different beast than a P-M. Useless in the extreme.

no, it is not a 479 pin cpu... its a normal 478 pin cpu, i have one with the exact same specs... its got a 24x multiplier(ugh) and it boots right up in a 478 board.

Thanks for that. I thought it was like the 2M PMs. What 478 motherboards are compatible with this chip? Which mobo do you have? Temps? Did it require heatsink modification to properly cool?
Edit: My bad...you just said it's a plain Nortwood core P4.... but CPU-Z on another lappy still said it was a P4-M. The link below shows the exact same specs that CPU-Z came up with too...so I'm still not sure.....

architectural wise it's the same as the regular northwood P4's. they have lower default vcore's, run cooler, and at less wattage (kinda all ways of saying the same thing, given that it's the same core, but whatever), and they do the whole speedstep thing.
not sure if anything else is different, but basicly it'll preform the exact same at the same MHz as a "regular" northwood.

Well now I just have to find a compatitble motherboard with a 1.7GHz NW P4 and maybe it'll work. This is just going to be an web/email/music machine anyway with a little MS2k3 Server so no biggie.
you will need and abit ic7
i know they work with p4 mobiles

Which IC7? The regular one, Max2 or Max3, or do they all work? I've had a 2 ghz pentium 4-m from an old laptop for a while, and have had trouble finding a mobo for it.

That 1.7 will boot at 1.2 in a desktop mobo because of speedstep. There's no way (that I know of) to adjust the multi, so you'll need 141FSB to get back to 1.7GHz.
i did have an ic7 and it booted with pm
the ic7 series uses the same chipset ...
aprt from added on features.
If you search for it, me and bigtoe has a small discussion about it a while back
