Will buy socket 478 motherboard!

kevinlieb · 11-07-2010, 02:44 PM

I just bought a Pentium 4 3.0E and my current motherboard won't support it. I need a Socket 478 motherboard with at least 4 PCI slots and 1 AGP 8x slot. It also needs 800 mhz FSB and DDR2 support. Thanks!

maybe 3 PCI and DDR... ATX

I have one that is from an HP desktop that I lost the HDD to (failure not lost). 3 PCI, 1 AGP 8x, 2 SATA 150 ports (most SATA 300 are backwards compatible.), 2 IDE/PATA ports, 1 FDD port, 20 Pin main, 4 pin CPU power, 4 x DDR up to 1GB per slot. Ran Win 2000 (my preference) and Win XP Pro (factory) equally well with 1.5 GB of ram and 2.66 HT P4 (800/1mb). The board itself is an ASUS P4LD with locked BIOS, but that probably could be fixed via flashing the BIOS from the ASUS site. I never tried because I was happy with the processor at stock, thus no need for OC BIOS settings.
PM with an offer if you want it, or have any questions.
