    Windows 7 Beta x64 - Vista 8.12 Catalyst or Win7Pack?

    Info Request on Motherboard (Northwoods CPU)

    Hello. My ABIT IC7 (Socket 478) with a P4 2.4c 800 fsb took a dive today. I'd really prefer not to have to buy a new processor and/or video card (current card is AGP). What options do i have for replacement of my motherboard? Will the Northwoods CPU work on say an LGA775 board such as an...
