I dont need another pc, I am not worried about cost either nor wether its cost effective or worth doing at all.So yeah, I want to try doing something with it, what I was thinking was if I could get it running 64bit.
Pentium 4 Socket 478 Motherboard Drivers For TheThe reason I was considdering that was gigabytes support page has x64 drivers for the mobo.I did a good bit if digging and came across a Pentium 4 2.8Ghz HT that apparently was released for s775 and a socked called PPGA478, I assume that its a socket 478 but I have not been able to verify it.
So does anyone know if PPGA478 is a socket 478 and is the P4 521 of that socket em64t capable. Also will it work on a gigabyte mobo It has the 865PE chipset. Pentium 4 Socket 478 Motherboard Full 4Gb AvailableNow assuming I do get a s478 x64 P4 and the motherboard does work, well would the system happily support 4Gb of DDR memory and the new HIS 4670 1Gb iceq AGP with the full 4Gb available Lastly, how much do you think I could realistically overclock the CPU and also how much would x64 affect the performance Any help would be great guys. The page for that specific CPU is here, and theres no mention of 64-bit support. I think youll probably find that it was a very short-lived model made purely for OEM purposes. The board probably cant handle 64-bit CPUs, since they would have been exceptionally rare even if they did exist. I have asked Gigabyte for some information and will wait on their reply. I have already purchased a decent air cooler for s478 CPUs and am about to purchase some Team Xteem DDR memory that have heat spreaders, they look decent. If the answer from Gigabyte is a resounding NO to the EM64T, then I will just go and get another P4 3.2 EE. ![]() Meanwhile, due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage and therefore the actual memory size will less than the stated amount. Now call me stupid but doesnt Windows XP 64bit require a 64bit compatible cpu and motherboard I have asked Gigabyte the same question and if the support for the P4 521 is an oversight as its a Prescott based cpu.
