ben2dx Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I'm shopping for a new motherboard. when I look at the supported processors lists some say Pentium 4 and others say Pentium 4 LG!775 is it the same thing, because i have a pentium 4, but i don't no if its Lg!775. Does the 775 just mean that it is a socket 775? Then whats the Lg! mean. That you for the help if you help. If not then play halo2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olaf Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 The motherboard model would help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I think LG stands for "Land Grid" as those processors don't use pins but little "nubs" that sit in the socket. And the correct term is LGA775 for "Land Grid Array". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben2dx Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 thanks, so if i have a pentium 4 processor it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 thanks, so if i have a pentium 4 processor it won't work. LGA775 is a socket type. 775 pins (Or in this case, grid points). That specific one, is a Pentium 4 Socket LGA775. If you have anything else (Socket 423 or 478) you're in need of a new motherboard to go with the CPU.

James Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 i heard that all pentium 4 processors were socket 775. how can i find out wich socket mine is? i have pentium 4 Older P4's are socket 478, Later version are LGA 775.If your CPU has pins on the bottom then its a 478, if there are no pins then its a 775.

ken_cinder Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 well mine is about 6 or 5 years old. dang. now i have to get a 478. Better make sure it's not a socket 423. 478's aren't the only P4's, despite what James said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
