Can you use Intel Pentium II and Intel Pentium III processors on the same motherboard?

This would all depend on your actual motherboard. Some boards do take a Pentium 3 chip. If you know the model of your board, then check the manufacturers website, for details of the maximum mhz allowed for it.
If you don't know the model number, then go to Google, and download a program called belarc advisor. Once installed, this will give you the in's and out#s of your PC. All hardware, and software installed.
If you find the board does take a Pentium 3 CPU, then you will need to purchase a 'slotty'. Basically this is a piece of hardware, that turns the black CPU, into a normal CPU. It slots inside the same place as the original CPU. With the added advantage of a heatsink and fan, which can be plugged onto the board.
Hope this helps
be safe

∙ 16y agoIf you are referring to your motherboard with Pentium III in it and you want to upgrade your processor only with Pentium IV then NO! P4 requires a different processor socket therefore a different motherboard as well as a different memory modules. You can upgrade, YES, if you change these three; motherboard, Processor and memory, which is of course pretty much the whole CPU.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThat really depends on if your motherboard and BIOS are compatible. No Pentium III processor uses a 66 MHz FSB, so if your board only supports 66 MHz, you are stuck with a cruddy Mendocino core Celeron. Celeron is also a common name for other stripped-down versions of comparable Pentiums, such as the Pentium 4. To replace these, you would need a Pentium 4, not a Pentium III.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt would depend on which Celeron and which Pentium 4. You can replace a Celeron with a Pentium 4 only if they use the same socket, such as Socket 472, 478, or LGA775. You couldn't replace, for instance, your old Mendocino Celeron with one, because they use different sockets.

∙ 13y agoNo, you cant upgrade Pentium 3 to Pentium 4 cause the Pentium 4 motherboard is not compatible to any Pentium 3 motherboard. The things you can upgrade in your Pentium 3 computer to become fast as Pentium 4 is the memory and harddrive.

Wiki User
∙ 16y agoNo! Pentium 4 processor has a different pin configuration than the Pentium 3 and it uses a different memory modules.

∙ 13y agoIt could be changed. P4 and Celeron D are using the same socket - 478 or LGA 775. You should check your motherboard's chipset compatibility for further info.

What Intel CPU first introduced the two-processors in one package concept?
Pentium D was 1st Intel desktop CPU to put 2 CPU's in same package called dual core. It uses a 775 pin motherboard socket, now a standard for many Intel processors.

Which of these processors is best out of Intel Core i3 or AMD A-Series or Intel Pentium Dual Core?
This depends on what type of A-Series you are talking about, but the i3 is better than the Pentium Dual Core although they are based on the same microarchitecture.
Can you change the processor in an IBM Thinkpad A30 from an Intel Pentium III to an Intel Pentium 4?
No, the Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 are not only samples of 2 completely different architectures, but also use a different socket so a change between the 2 on the same motherboard is impossible.
Do all Intel Pentium 4 processors use the same socket?
No. The Intel Pentium 4 line was produced for three sockets. The shortlived Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA 775 (sometimes called Socket T).
Can I replace my desktop computer's Intel Pentium 4 processor with a dual-core unit?
No. The newer processor will not use the same motherboard.
Are Pentium 4 class CPU interchangeable on the same motherboard?
Not necessarily. There have been three different sockets used for Pentium 4 processors (Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA775). They are not interchangeable without special adapters. Even when pin-compatible, motherboard updates may be necessary for the processors to actually work.
What is the main architectural difference between the Intel core 2 duo and the core and the Pentium processors that proceeded it?
The difference is that Core Duo processors have to "engines" instead of one. With other words, Core Duo means 2 Intel processors in the same time working!
Can Sun Solaris 10 be installed on an AT motherboard with an Intel Pentium III processor?
I've yet to encounter an AT motherboard that supported a Pentium III processor. All the same, it is possible to run Solaris 10 on a Pentium III computer. You'll need at least 256 MB of RAM, however.
Can you replace your laptop's Intel Pentium III processor with a dual-core unit?
No. Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 stand too apart from each other. For upgrading any processor on the same motherboard, they need to be in same socket type and the external interfaces should be compatible. P3 is a very old single core chip and is a lot different from latest dual core processors, so this upgrade is not possible.
You are using Intel Pentium d 820 processor in ddr1 motherboard iwant to change the motherboard to ddr2 keeping the processor same is it possible?
You cannot convert an existing motherboard to DDR2. As The Intel Pentium D was actually designed for motherboards with DDR2 RAM (you must have gone out of your way to purchase one with DDR RAM), it should be no problem to move the processor to another board.
Is Pentiums 5 computers invented?
I have an intel motherboard with a pentium 5 cpu 2.66 ghz bios version cr94510j.86a. I am in the same town as the intel plant, and may be a one off item. intel desktop board #d945gccr
