Socket 8
Pentium Pro
Pentium 4s were available in Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA 775.
Socket 7
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.
you need to be more specific (specific dual core pentium model) as various dual core pentium processors have been created over the years that use several different socket types
Pentium 4 sockets were sockets numbers Socket 423 for early Pentium 4's. Then socket 478 for Pentium 4, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition and Celeron and socket T (LGA 775) for Pentium 4, Pentium D dual core, Celeron D and Pentium Extreme Edition.
No. It is a higher-end version of the same processor, with a larger amount of L2 cache. It cannot be used as a replacement, since they use different slot / socket types.
Depends on how much power you need. You use a Socket 775 processor for a socket 775 motherboard. Core 2 Quad @2.66Ghz, $169.99 Pentium Dual-Core @2.93Ghz, $79.99 The more power, the bigger the price.
The MSI PT880NEO motherboard unfortunately uses an Intel Socket 478, which fits the Pentium 4 processor. An AMD Duron is incompatible with this motherboard, so sorry!
The Intel Pentium M is a type of processor that is used in laptops. The M stands for mobile and the Pentium M is designed to use less power and generate less heat than a processor used in a desktop.
The Intel Pentium II was released in a Slot 1 package, while the Pentium Pro used socket 8. Adapters were available to use Pentium Pros in Slot 1 motherboards, and a version of the Pentium II was released for Socket 8.The Intel Pentium II includes MMX instructions, while the Pentium Pro does not.The Intel Pentium II has improved performance in 16-bit applications. 32-bit applications were not affected quite as much.
No. The Intel Pentium 4 line was produced for three sockets. The shortlived Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA 775 (sometimes called Socket T).
