That depends upon the socket type the processor was made for. The Pentium 4 was released in three socket types: # Socket 423 (423 Pins) # Socket 478 (478 Pins) # LGA775 (775 Contacts) Note: in the case of the LGA775 the processor does not have pins. Instead it has contacts, while the socket actually has pins that connect to the contacts on the processor.
No.
No. The Intel Pentium 4 line was produced for three sockets. The shortlived Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA 775 (sometimes called Socket T).
This socket was designed for first-generation Pentium 4 processors. If you're considering an upgrade then your options are pretty limited.
It depends. Pentium 4 processors came right as Intel began to change from what is called Pin Grid Array (the processor has several hundred pins on the bottom) to Land Grid Array (the CPU socket has pins which contact the processor). Older Pentium 4 processors run on PGA Sockets 423 and 478, which are no longer found on mainstream motherboards, but the newer Pentium 4's were built for the LGA 775 socket, which can be found on some new motherboards.
Socket 423
There is 423 pins in a Duel Core Processor.
Pentium Pro
Pentium 4s were available in Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA 775.
Socket 423
CPU slot(s) and/or socket(s)The type of CPU slot or socket determines which processors the motherboard can use. The most popular CPU connectors are Socket 370 (late-model Intel Pentium III and Celeron processors), Socket A (AMD Athlon and Duron), Socket 478 (current Celeron and Pentium 4), Socket 423 (old-style Pentium 4), Slot 1 (old-style Pentium II/III and Celeron), Slot A (older-style Athlon), and the obsolete Socket 7 (Intel Pentium and AMD K6-* processors). Some motherboards have two or more CPU connectors, allowing them to support multiple processors. A few motherboards have both Slot 1 and Socket 370 connectors, allowing them to support either type of CPU (but not both at once).There are three versions of Socket 370, which differ in pinouts and which processors they support. Early Socket 370/PPGA motherboards support only older Mendocino-core Celeron processors. Later Socket 370/FC-PGA motherboards support Coppermine-core Pentium III FC-PGA processors and Coppermine128-core Celeron FC-PGA processors. The final Socket 370 motherboards, which Intel refers to as "Universal" models, support any Socket 370 processor, including Tualatin-core Pentium III and Celeron processors. Although Socket 370 is now obsolescent, tens of millions of Socket 370 systems remain in use. When you upgrade such a system it is important to check the documentation to determine which Socket 370 variant that system uses.
