Hallo there. This is my first post over here. Great forum!

I was delighted to find that I can upgrade the Banias 1.5 in my T41 with a 765 or 755 Dothan.

I am thinking of putting the Banias on this MSI motherboard but I am confused over the socket pins.

The MSI site says

Note: On Intel Pentium-M/Celeron-M Dothan CPU, with a choice of 478pins and 479pins P-M CPU socket, MSI designed 478pins P-M CPU socket on this board.

What do they mean?

I upgraded the 1.4Ghz Banias in my T41 to a 1.8Ghz Dothan some time back. It was a drop in replacment and had the same number of pins (but I didn't count them). ... JD Hurst

It will fit right in and work in your MSI motherboard that is for sure.

I believe that it is Socket 479, implying that the "479" is the number of pins.
It should work though...

Of coarse it is like that, but that quote from the MSI site is confusing me.

It implies that there are Socket 478 and Socket 479 Banias and Dothan. Like the Xeon Socket 603 and the later Socket 604 or something.

I have found this documents on the Intel site

For the Banias 1.5GHz
http://processorfinder.intel.com/Detail ... Spec=SL6F9

For the Dothan 2.0GHz 755
http://processorfinder.intel.com/Detail ... Spec=SL7EM

Both of them are 478 pins.

Now I don't know if the Sonoma are 479 pins.

Update

Yesterday I opened my T41 by following the steps of the service manual.

I replaced the Banias 1.5GHz with a Dothan 765 2.1GHz (with Arctic Silver 3 that I had around). The Banias went into a MSI motherboard for a HTPC.

I have installed also an additional 1GB Corsair ram, replacing the factory installed Elpida.

Finally I have installed an Intel 2915 abg card. I thought I would have no problems with that but I was wrong. This Intel 2915 came from a Dell machine (it had Dell part numbers) and as a result I got the Bios error message. I did the 1-bit bios flash and it works now. Only problem that the wifi led doesn’t light up any more.

The Banias and Dothans are both labelled Socket 479. But in fact, they have only 478 pins. However, the difference between the Intel Northwood core P4 Socket 478 cpus is the pin alignments. Their pin alignments are different but with the same amount of pins.
