What the heck can I do with it?!! It came out of a dead dell 5150, and my friend didn't feel like paying 250 bucks for a new mobo for it. So i've canabalized it and about the only thing I didn't put into my 5100 was the cpu and mobo. :cool: There has to be something I can do with it, are these runnable in a desktop board?
 
does it have 149 pins?

If it does get Asus CT-479 adapter which allows you to install it on a 478 socket motherboard. (IF Supported)

thats for pentium M. not mobile p4's

it should work fine in any desktop board.
 
I don't think it has HT, i think HT was disabled for mobiles, not sure though. Anyone confirm or deny?
 
i dont think they have HT, but ofcourse i can be wrong

edit: spelling error
 
I'm pretty sure mobiles don't have HT. Also, it may or may not run in a regular desktop board. Depends on who makes the board.
 
533 FSB = no HT
800 FSB = HT

was it labeled P4 3.06....or did it use intels new "519J" name system?

the 519J doesnt have HT
the old school 3.06 P4 did.
 
I have one too, but I have not found a board yet that it will run on. Doesn't work with the adaptor either.
 
sounds like a dead chip, and the adaptor will ensure it.
P4 and mobile P4 use the same socket, same pinouts, etc.

Pentium M, the pinouts are shifted diagonally, so if you plug a Pentium M in a P4 socket or vise versa, you put voltage to signal pins.

No its definitely not a bad chip. The computer works fine except the motherboard can't make a connection with the ac adaptor, so the computer never charges anymore. Without the juice this lappy is useless. I know the chip runs fine. So from what you guys have told me so far is that nobody knows if it has HT or will run in a desktop board. About all of you have told me something different! :confused:
 
For the record, I've only heard a few people saying that a P4M will not work in a P4 board. It is not tested, but it works more often than not. It generally defaults to the speedstep multi of 12 and boots at 1200MHz. It is not known how to get the higher multi on a desktop board.

The adapter has probably killed it, as I said, the pin outs are different. With any luck, the system never powered on, otherwise, it aint good.
 
Well it may have been dead before. It was in a box of unknown parts from my old job. So.. no loss that it didn't work.. I will say that an MSI board I had would goet to a bios screen with it, but would not boot, and the cpu voltage settings in the bios were gabage char. instead of the voltage.

Dunno if this is because it isn't a mobile part, or because it is "old school," but my 3.06ghz P4 w/ 533mhz FSB does have Hyperthreading.

As to the question at hand, yes you can use that mobile 3.06 processor in a desktop, though it requires a mod. That processor was sold with and without hyperthreading, so you will have to go to this link and use the 5 digit sSpec # printed on the processor to find out if yours does:

Here is a link to a PCWorld article talking about Intel's introduction of mobile P4s and hyperthreading, speeds, etc. The bottom portion entitled "Going Mobile" will be of the most interest to you:

Here is a link to a guide for using mobile P4s in desktop boards. Hope this helps:

that desktop 3.06 is the only 533mhz p4 part to ever have HT. the mobiles did not.
 
Hmm, I gotta think who has a P4 board I can work with to see if it actually works now... If not you might look for a P4 3.06 mobile cheap in the FS/FT forum soon!
