mPGA478mb ??

Which socket is mPGA478mb? Socket M? it has ddr2 and sata yet can only seems to support a pentium m and celeron m? ATI exrpress 200

 

It's not socket M, because then it would support Core Duo as well as the first generation of Core 2 Duos.

Given the ATi express 200, Pentium M sounds about right.

 

Intel Pentium M 740 RH80536GE0302M (BX80536GE1733FJ)

socket 479 and socket 479 M

here we go!

weird stuff, a weird lonely socket all to it's self.

 

Socket 478 doesn't tell you any useful information. If you don't know the socket name, find out what processor is there and then find out what socket that processor uses.

 

Isn't Socket 478 for Pentium 4? I owned two P4's about a decade ago that's what I recall...

 

I try to do that but, then manage to confuse my self.... because logic.... no wait.....yeah...no ....yeah ....are you sure? ....what was i thinking about again ....right! Racecar spelled backwards is racecar..... sooo.... it must be socket M.


Really though i think the confusions comes form Celeron Ms also being on socket M as well as socket 479, which if if look the CPU model number it should point in the right direction...HOWEVER.... i looked one up the other day, the model number CPU world page just says socket xxx but, if you look the CPU name and NOT by model number it actually says socket P soo that alone through off me and i had ordered a socket M had another old laptop i thought it might fit but, it was socket 479.

socket 479 does not have designation like M or Socket P.

There shouldn't be any overlap in the names. Regardless, find the processor's sSpec number, and then look it up here: List of Intel Celeron microprocessors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

^^^^^^^

This.

The socket in question has been used for years starting with P4M if I recall correctly, all the way through Core 2 Duo.

Both socket M and socket P CPUs would physically fit in it, but neither would work.

You need to find out the board FSB - my guess would be 533Mhz - and take it from there.

Once again, my bet is on Pentium M but you'd need to know whether it's 400Mhz or 533MHz variety.

Good luck.

 

in brand though, while the Celeron M 440 might be socket M it's was y to confuse the Celeron M on socket p. they made Celeron version of the Pentium M.

see here > Socket 479 / Socket mPGA479M

it appears Celeron M 300 series is socket 479 and Celeron 400 is socket M.

also as stated before CPU world spec sheet doesn't always list socket...

see here, SLB6L (Intel Celeron M 585)

see here, Intel Celeron M 585 LF80537NF0481M

And it is definitely Pentium M, i know for a fact, I just didn't know the socket name. which is because socket 479 does not have designation other than socket 479.

by searching the CPU code/M# it brings the first result, only if you search "Intel Celeron M 585" do you get the later....it's not too hard too see how it can be miss leading at first glance. ajkulahas won the bet. *hands AJ a cookie*

 

Well, if we're discussing the same board that sports the ATi 200 express graphics, you're in the Pentium M era.

Once you've figured whether you need a 400MHz or a 533MHz CPU - my guess would be the latter - let me know. I've got a drawer full of them, most can be had for a cost of shipping.

 

edited my last post.

 

Keep the cookie since I don't eat sweets......and just drop me a note once you've figured out what type of CPU exactly you actually need...

 

No all is good, i know it's Pentium M since that's what removed from the socket, i just didn't grab the SL number. I believe it's the second fastest Pentium M money can buy. I was just trying to get my bearings straight since it's been a so many years since i'v been inside this old toshiba and looked up this stuff.

How ever this time i believe i have firm grasp thanks to you and the other posters, i have also identified the common points of confusion for my self and other past, present or future.

what happened is after mistakenly bought the socket M core duo for other Toshiba i'd figured i'd install in this old clunker since after all... i had successfully upgrade a Celeron M HP to a core duo earlier this year.
