You got that right, real old as in first generation S478 boards with i850 and i845 chipsets.

Tried mine today on ECS barebone.
Converter fitted perfectly but alas no post whatsover. Not even a beep.
Not really sure what mobo, it's got a SIS chipset I think.

thx perc,
no, the p4p800se is just a p4 mobo, comes with drivers, cables, that sort of stuff.
forums are usually the best place, but

Did anyone try it on i915 mobos?
unless i'm still totally wasted and am writing gibberish (and remembering
even more of that), you have 2 i915 boards to chose from. asus p4gd1
and asus p4gpl-x, both supporting dothan/sonoma and pci-e gfx cards...
that's all you need really
sky / s!p - we are oldskool, dammit.
Tried it last night, and it doesn't work...the board won't post even with the latest beta bios 1007.005
It seems all the i848P based mobos had their bios' updated at the same time on the ASUS website, so i'm presuming if this one won't work, they won't either....but i could be wrong
I tried a 760 with DFI 875 infinity (latest bios)
no post
i update the cpucode but not helped..
Updated the list with FERCSA's result.

Did anybody try the CT-478 in the ASRock P4 Dual board? 915GL / ICH6 with AGP and PCI card interface. Super cheap here.

Here's my P4S800-MX running with CT-479 and Celeron M 350 @ 13x167MHz. It's running Fedora Core 4 without a hitch and I'm posting from this system now.
RAM is TwinMOS Speed Premium BH-5 512MB and graphics is NVIDIA GeForce DDR.

Might try my AI7 if I get around to reflashing the BIOS on it.

I'm not sure, but maybe it's the missing microcode for Dothan in the BIOS?Nice

Could be. That's just another reason why Linux would be great if it was made more n00b-friendly
Back on topic, i might squeeze in a test of my CT-479 on my brother's P4U800-X if i can lure i from him..

I once modified my Asus P3B-F BIOS with microcode supporting the Tualatin core, but I can't quite remember how I did it. It can't be that hard to update the code on the P4S800-MX.

I'm just about to install Kubuntu 5.10 on my test rig. After an okay impression of Ubuntu, i hope it's better.. If not, i'll give Fedora a go.Fedora Core 4 is actually very n00b-friendly. I will say that it's easier to install than Windows.
Go for it!

it could be easy if you could find acbrom compatible with current asus bioses.. i haven't
also i updated abit ic7 bios microcodes with dothan ones but nothing..
though yours is booting up and running linux - that's encouraging
do you know is p4p800-F will work with ct-479
Tested p4s800-mx-se, no post (can't tell beeps 'cause of lack of beep thing in my case).
Bought a P-M Banias 1.4 and a P4P800-vm, thought I'd test the CPU and adapter in some "unsupported" P4 boards I own (all latest bioses from respective manufacturers):
Gigabyte 8IG1000-Pro G 865G/ICH5 - Does not boot, no beeps.
Gigabyte 8IPE1000 Pro 865PE/ICH5 - Does not boot, no beeps.
Albatron PX865PE Pro 865PE/ICH5 - Does not boot, no beeps.
ASRock P4V88 Via PT880/Via 8237 - Does not boot, no beeps.
In the P4P800-VM I took the CPU to 1.86GHz via the jumper on the Ct-479 (14x133 RAM at 333MHz).. sadly the board lacks any BIOS options.Still, the Pentium M is awesome.
