Hello,
I have a scrapped cpu chip, intel's --- from a dell machine. It's
dell number is "H1483"
It is a 2.4 g hz processor, and has 512k cache...533 mhz buss.
I need a bit of assistance in choosing a mobo.
I think it's a mpga 478 pin package, and just need to know what intel
mobo I can match to the uprocessor.
I have looked at intel's site, and I get a lot of info, but it's way
confusing. TOo much info is just that. I don't know how to figure this
out. Please help someone. Thanks.

The "H1483" number would be a Dell number. Intel puts its numbers on
the label on the top of the chip. Fortunately, this Ebay sale mentions
the chip is a Northwood.

To see an example of the top of an Intel chip, you can see the top of this
one is marked with "SL8ZH".

Your chip might be something like this. The SSPEC is a five character
code, on the top of the chip. The code would be SLxxx in format.

Using the CPUSupport page on the Asus site...
http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
I can get a list of motherboards like this, for socket 478. I don't
know if Intel has a database like that, for their Intel branded
motherboards. (An Intel D845 or D865 or D875 family board, would
be examples of ones that might be candidates.)

Taking a quick look on Pricewatch, I did find an S478 board here.
The advert claims it is an Asus P4SD with 865PE chipset, but
I suspect it may be an OEM board. To get a BIOS update for an
OEM board, you have to go to the company that used the OEM board
in a computer build (like HP). You can certainly use a board like
this, but support would be shaky.

This is as near as I could come on the HP site. HP uses a P4SD-LA
in some of their old computers. The picture is not an exact match
for that Geeks item. So, you can purchase the Geeks board, and it should
run a FSB533 or FSB800 S478 processor, but if you needed a BIOS update,
I don't really know where you'd look (HP, Dell, Gateway, etc).
