Compatible?

Is a 2.5ghz Pentium 4 processor from this motherboard compatible with this motherboard?

 

After checking google it looks like your cpu might work in the motherboard your asking about but i can't promise that it will work

 

Does the north and south chipset have anything to do with what processor you can put in?

 

i believe the FSB for that processor is 800mhz (not sure but i think that's right. my 3.0ghz p4 is 800mhz FSB) and the second motherboard listed only runs a 533/400mhz FSB. It will work but it will be slower. Are you considering buying a new motherboard for socket 478? if so, i highly recommend the ASUS p4p800-E deluxe

 

I have the revision 2.0 one which ran at 533mghz.

 

oh ok then. it should be fine

 

But does the north and southbridge chipset have anything to do with what processors can be put on a motherboard?

Cause if not, I'm gonna go start building my computer back. I'm sick of using crap laptops.
