is a socket 775 processor compatible with a socket 478 motherboard?

Your processor is the socket on the board. If you really need to know, pop the heat sink off and look at the socket. The number will be right on top

Socket 478 Motherboard

It's possible you have an early Pentium 4, the very original P4's where 478, but then they switched to 775. If that's the case, the program is just wrong :P I think the same deal with Celerons, not sure though. The two are not compatable.

Nope the 775 socket is for the Core2 range Such as the core 2 duo core 2 quad core 2 extreme Sorry but the only socket that will fit into is the 445 socket Hope this helps

NO, thats why its a socket 775 and not a 478

no the Socket numbers are specific for processors & motherboards. it would be like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole (of equal size)

also you have to be careful of using new processors and old motherboards. if your bus speeds on the motherboard arent as high as the CPU, it will actually bottleneck and you will not be able to use the CPU to its full potential.

make sure mobo front side bus > = CPU speed
