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 else can I help you with?
Are CPU's of the same class interchangeable eg Pentium 4 CPU on motherboard with any other Pentium 4 class CPU?
No. There are at least 3 different socket types for Pentuim 4s- 423, 478, 775 LGA. You wont be able to swap any of them. Even within a socket type (e.g. 478) there are different chipsets, etc, and some chipsets will not support some CPUs.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
K-6 refers to what on computers?
The AMD K6 was a CPU produced by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). It was designed to fit on a socket 7 motherboard, the same type of motherboard that the original Pentium chip used. It performed better than the Intel Pentium. It was popular around the time of Windows 95 and 98.
Are RIMM and DIMM interchangeable?
You can not use RIMM memory in a DIMM type Motherboard, or vise versa. Although they pretty much do the same job, they work in different ways.
Can you use an ATX power supply with a microATX motherboard?
Yes. The connectors are the same. microATX is designed to be backwards-compatible with ATX, including interchangeable cases and power supplies.
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.
Is the Intel Pentium 4 much faster than the Intel Pentium II?
As a whole, the Pentium 4 has a higher maximum performance than a Pentium III. The Pentium III performs the same as or better than Pentium 4 at the same clock speed, but the Pentium 4 has a higher max clock speed (which the Pentium 4 was designed for).
What was the platform of the AMD K6 MMX processor?
That would go on a socket-7 motherboard. Socket-7 is the same platform as what was used for the original Pentium processor. That was out around the time that Windows 95 and Windows 98 were popular.
