| Update from 478 socket to L775 socket? This is just an inquiry. (Theoretically Speaking) Since the Asus P5P800SE is a chipset (865e) based very closely to the (875p)chipset found in our beloved P4c800 dlx.... why can't there be an add-on board or socket expansion (rememebr the Asus slocket?) that will allow us to upgrade to faster Intel chips???? I know Asus has managed to tweak core voltages in the CT-479 to accept Pentium mobile chips--so why not the L775-940 series packages? Opinions? Thanks.

| I know for certain that there are chipset limitations that will prevent this. IMO, the socket/power adaptation would be the easy part. I realize it is a theoretical query but, I don't think Intel is going to continue to try to develop ways to sell an aging chipset. Mike.

| Even forgetting about chipset limitations, it is almost physically impossible to take the LGA socket and convert it to a PGA socket. You would have to remove the processor socket retension mechanism which for the most part is built into the motherboard.
