The pentium 4 is an exceptionally difficult chip as it's been around in different iterations since 2000 and has covered 3 different motherboard socket types.<br><br>423<br>478<br>775<br><br>Four different cores:<br><br>
Willamette<br>Northwood<br>Prescott<br>Cedar Mill<br><br>And has been branded:<br><br>Pentium 4<br>Pentium 4 M (Mobile)<br>Pentium 4 HT (Hyper Threading)<br>Pentium 4 EE (Extreme Edition)<br>Pentium 4 D (Dual Core) -- this was before the core 2 duo<br>
Pentium 4 D EE (Dual Core Extreme Edition)<br>(and probably more)<br><br>Given that you only call yours a Pentium 4 my best guess is that it's a socket 478. It could be a 423, but that's less likely (unless it's below 2Ghz, you don't mention). It is not a 775.<br>
<br>The board is hard to say. It *might* be a 775, but then it should also support the core2 duo chips and you don't list that. Otherwise it's a 478. the 423 did not support the EE chips (to my recollection)<br>
<br>If both the board and the chip are 478, there's a good chance they should work together (even being fairly different generations from the sound of it).<br><br>Any other details you could provide would help narrow it down.<br>

Frustrating isn't it? Remember how long Socket A was in vogue? Those were the days.<br>
