Hi,

I have a socket 478 motherboard based on a SIS 648 chipset, which currently
has a 2.5ghz pentium 4 cpu installed.

Is it possible to install a Pentium M cpu in these boards? I doubt the
latest 2mb 90nm dothan pentium m would work but what about the 1mb 130nm
banias models?

Are you thinking of the CT-479 adapter ?
