I am confused with these new motherboards and there sockets

Can that above MBoard support the Socket 478 Pentiurm 4?

Or another question is there a MB out there with PCI - E that still supports the Socket 478?

and

the one you listed above is a socket 775 design.

Another question is are these motherboards feasible to get?

I don't have a lot of experience with Albatron boards, but Asrock is a pretty reputable manufacturer of boards- albeit low-end. As long as you aren't looking to do a lot of overclocking, then I would imagine that it would be just fine.

Well there is no way I am geting the 775 motherboards. Way to be of an expense now with the price of those Pentiums.

Hello Merlinxi,

From what I understand, you want a socket 478 motherboard, yet with a PCI-E video card slot.

If so, the only one I could recommend is the Albatron PX915P4C. It is not anything special, but from the line of socket 478 / 915P Chipset motherboards it is the only one that worths the attention.

I've been using the Albatron for about 3 months and haven't had any problems. I'm using a 2.8e with a 7800GT and it run great. The only other thing I had to do was change power supplies to one that supported a 24 pin plug.

Yeah I got a Antec SmartPower awhile ago with the new Power connector, when the time comes I am just going to order the X1K and the Albatron board when the time comes, I was just thinking of getting the 7800 GT, i really don't care lol
