Intel Celeron, 2.7GHz, 400MHz FSB and 128KB L2 cache, forgot the socket for it >.<

I can't be assed into taking the heatsink off my CPU while the computer's off to find out, is there something like CPU-Z/WCPUID/<other CPU detection tool> for Linux, and if so, what's it called, thanks for the help guys.

Socket 478.

How did you know that ?

Anyway, if that's true, now I know what socket size Pentium 4 to find when I go x-mas shopping, thanks kevman.

No. Intel has forgone socket 478, all new Pentiums and Celerons are Socket T, i.e. LGA775

Did they make this change sometime near Thanksgiving 2003, because that's when I bought that celeron computer.

Last year was when 775 was starting to show a lot of headway

It's now the only thing Intel offers to OEMs and retailers

Upgrading now basically means you need to buy a new mobo first.

I needed a fast OS for a Web Server and other wide and local network tasks. So I chose Debian for my server. Running in a wardrobe with only a lan card in it.

For those tasks, I tried, Win95, Win98, Win2k, RedHat and I'm very satisfied with Debian. It's Rock stable

What kind of Linux user are you?
