    Ok, that socket p(478) what is the full socket type model number? A little homework is in order here I did a simple Wikipedia check and found these two listing.One shouldn't forget to use such search as that will give one information one is looking for.

    Socket 478 (also known as mPGA478, mPGA478B
    or
    socket P; also known as PGA478MN

    Which of these two exactly is your socket type????

    That didn't give much help at all...pointed right back at notebookreview....a fruitless result....rather if the OP can tell us the Socket type from what I asked them would do more to help...
