Sun Oct 12, 2003 6:09 pm Post subject: Intel CPU and Packaging Type |
|
I have a dual processor capable MB that currently has a single Xeon 1.4Ghz CPU. I want to upgrade to a faster CPU, but I have a question concerning the Packaging Type. According to Intel the 1.4 Ghz has a 603 pin PPGA INT2. I'm looking at a processor that has a 603 pin PPGA INT3. Can anyone tell me the difference and if the INT3 will fit? Thanks. |

From my guess, it will fit, but the question is will your mobo support it. From my understanding, the INT2 and INT3 refer to the core revisions of the processors. |

You may need a new BIOS update from your Motherboard manufacturer. |
