Need assistance with Pentium D

**Mousey** · Jan 14, 2007, 12:39 PM

OK here's the deal,
My mainboard is a Foxconn 661FX7MJ-S (Clicky for info from the retailer i got it from) and i really need a new CPU, this celeron is gonna be the death of me.

However, CCL (retailer) say that the mainboard supports " Intel Socket 775 Celeron & Pentium 4" and it's the "4" that's got me worried, since i can't find a Pentium 4 in socket 775 anywhere now apart from ebay and i'm sure you understand what parents and ebay are like with electronics...

Anywho my friend says it's probably not compatible but i have absolutlely no idea, CCL haven't emailed me back yet and i can't get a straight answer from anyone, can you lot help me? Since i don't want to spend £105.99 on a CPU then find out it isn't compatible, and what's worse is that CCL can't take it back if i open it, ach...

check the model name of your motherboard again, the "661FX7MJ-S" is not available at Foxconn web sites...
the model name can be found on the motherboard's box, or is usually printed on the board itself.

could be that the model name "661FX7MJ-S" is used to be available, but not anymore,
or it is available but just not listed on Foxconn web site anymore.
