Can you drop these in any pentium-4 socket478 board ? Do you need a special board?

I've seen a lot of links for adapters that do 478->479, but if you have a native socket478 pentium-m (many are sold at newegg, and also mentioned
here)
can you just pop it into any socket478 board?

No you can't drop a Pentium M into a desktop P4 socket. But funny you mention it I just recieved yesterday (as of 2005-04-19) my Asus CT-479 with a Celeron M 340 riding it. It's pretty snappy considering the CPU specs (1.5Ghz, 512KB L2, 400Mhz FSB) It nips at the heels of my brothers P4 2.8C in a lot of games.

What board are you running it on? I thought those converters were only for a certain type of Asus board. Just wondering if it'll work on my IC7-Max 3 board.

Asus P4P800-SE

They also support the P4P800-VM and at least one of the P4C800's. Asus should support all their 875 and 865 boards eventually.

btw, did You try to overclock it?

btw i just looked at http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/SPECUPDT/30030311.pdf
those new cm's (350J,360J and 370) seem to be nice chips, with 1M cache,
the same stepping as 533MHz dothans and higher mult than low-speed pm's.
plus they're quite affordable (at least, for intel)

yours is banias, right?

Yeah mine is a Banias core, picked it up for $40.00 shipped. The BIOS is still a bit unpolished. Being a Banias core I couldn't get much out of it, 125Mhz FSB (125x15=1875Mhz). I can get it to 2Ghz but it's just a bit unstable. Though I've quite a few Banias hit 2Ghz stable. At 1.87Ghz though it beats my brother's P4 2.8C in gaming, and I have a "lemon" of a lowend Celeron M. :p

Those new 350J,360J, and 370s look pretty sweet markku. I think these Celeron M's would make great budget gaming chips if Asus keeps supplying the adapters and boards. I bet 2.5Ghz wouldn't be unreasonable for a Celeron M 370J and it would be pretty fast to boot.
 
It can be done, as I have done it my self. The only problem is that the multipler is locked at 12x with a 100Mhz FSB. The chip I tried it on was a P4 M 1.6Ghz. I ran the FSB up to around 185 and could boot into windows with no problems. There are several articles on the net outlining how this works.

it's a pentium 4 M not pentium M
they have completely different architecture and pinout...
