Hi all

Will this cpu (P4 2GHz, 128, 400 FSB) work ok with mobo Asus P4S333-VM? As the mobo has a 512kb L2 cache and not a 128? Hmm

Thanks
GK :)

P4-2 GHz (Socket478, 400 FSB, L2 cache:256KB) ALL ALL
P4-2A GHz (Socket478, 400 FSB, L2 cache:512KB) ALL 1001

I'd try looking here, but this server is down right now (status 503 - too busy)
I suspect your description is for a Celeron, in which case Celeron 2GHz, L2=128KB, FSB400
would be fine. What won't work is a "Celeron D" or other 90nm tech processors.
But to be sure, I'd want to check the Pentium 4 section of this site, to
see if they make a 128KB version and still call it a P4. I thought 128KB made
it a Celeron.

If this is an Ebay listing, maybe the listing is a mistake.

The L2 cache is not part of the mobo - it is part of the processor.
The cache size is part of the naming convention, with smaller cache (lower performance)
processors being the Celerons.
