How many pins on my CPU?
Hey,
I was wondering if there was a way to determine how many pins are on my CPU without opening up the computer and probably damaging it (I'm not too coordinated). It's a P4 1.4 Ghz from about 2 years ago. Thanks! |

Some P4's also use Socket 423 as well. The 1.4 came out in both socket 423 and 478. Easiest way to tell would probably be if you know what model of motherboard you've got; we could look that model up and tell ya whether its a 478 or a 423.

Yup, Intel offered the P4 with 423 pins and 478 pins. So, juppy has the right idea. Find out what kind of motherboard you have and that should help with getting that info.

Thanks a lot, I think I have it, but I don't know if it is enough...
It's a specially-sized Dell mobo that came in a 4300s (the sideays kind of mini-tower). the data say the following: PWA, Planar (Motherboard), Audio, 4300S and the part # (I don't know if it's Dell) is 0M075. Also, the info for the processor itself is Processor, 80531, 1.4G, 0K, 400, SKN, D0 I hope this can help. Thanks! |

I do believe it's Socket 423.

thanks a lot for the help. Now, does anyone have any suggestions for a case/mobo/power combo that I could buy? Or which should I buy seperately? I have no idea how to look for different boards and cases. Basically, I need an SDRAM board, a power supply/cooling, and a case it will all fit in. Thanks!

I think you're going to have a hard time finding a motherboard that meets your requirements since the 423 pin P4's have been discontinued for some time now and motherboard support for them have diminished too. And you really should use DDR RAM since using SDRAM will really hold back a P4 computer.
Any good ATX mid-tower case will do...just make sure it comes with a good quality power supply. For cooling, basic setup is 1 intake fan in front and 1 exhaust fan in back. You can just get away with the exhaust fan in most cases. What are you trying to do? Cricket
