Is My Pentium P4 Processor Supported?

I recently tried to upgrade my processor but it will not boot.
I have an MSI 845GEMax motherboard and my current processor is a Pentium 4 1.8ghz 512 Cache 533 FSB. I tried installing a new P4 2.8ghz 1MB L2-Cache 533 FSB processor. I also have 256mb RAM and I'm installing an additional 256mb's. When I powered up the machine, it would not boot. I reinstalled the original CPU and left the new memory installed and everything came up fine.
I have two basic questions.
1. In my CPU upgrade instructions it didn't mention if I should upgrade my bios before doing the cpu install. Is a bios upgrade necessary to support this CPU? Should I update my bios?
2. In checking the MSI website I found two different CPU designation for my Pentium processor. One is called Northwood and one is called Prescott. I don't know what these "names" mean or if it's important, but only one appears to be certified with my motherboard even though the "specifications" for the processor are identical. Can anyone help explain the differences?
Last but not least, what else could be wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Bingo, thanks for the extra research. When I click on CPU supported, basically it looks like this mother board doesn't support any (or very few) Prescott CPU's although I don't know why. I'm going to send an email query to MSI technical support and see why this CPU isn't supported and ask if it will ever be supported. I guess in the meantime I'm going to have to return the CPU I purchased and pay the penalty.
Thanks again for your VERY quick response and help! Now I know why they call a PC the Personal Confuser.

Photoshop Element 7 Multi Processor Support?

Will we have multiprocessor support across the entire feature set of PSE 7? I haven't seen that as part of the feature set of the new product. Today, we experience diminished functionality by having to turn off multi-processor support in order to get thumbnails to work. Just curious if that might have been included in the new product.

Paul posted his query before PSE 7 was released, but for future reference of people searching these forums:
PSE 7 fixes the notorious bug in PSE 6 in which thumbnails for raw photos were not correctly displayed on computers with multiple processors (e.g. hyperthreaded Pentiums or dual- or quad-core Duos).

Intel(R) Atom(TM)/Celeron(R)/Pentium(R) Processor need driver for Windows 10

After upgrade to Windows 10. This device drive does not work. I went to the HP driver download site and down loaded and installed < Intel Trusted Execution Engine Interface (TXE) Driver for the supported notebook models running a supported operating system. The Intel Trusted Execution Engine Interface enables the Secure Boot and provides services required for platform security features such as Intel Platform Trust Technology (Intel PPT).

Dear Sir,
In my HP notebook pc in Device manager,, other devices need to insatall a driver,, that hardware id is :
ACPI\VEN_INT&DEV_33BD&REV_0002
ACPI\VEN_INT&DEV_33BD

i think that devices is Intel(R) Atom(TM)/Celeron(R)/Pentium(R) Processor MBI Device - 33BD and Intel(R) Atom(TM)/Celeron(R)/Pentium(R) Processor Trusted Execution Engine Interface.
but how to download and install this drivers.. please give a download link to install these drivers..
Thanks..

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP 15-r011dx Notebook and issues with the Intel(R) Atom(TM)/Celeron(R)/Pentium(R) Processor MBI Device driver.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating. To install Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5, you have to go to the control panel>programs>turn Windows Features on/off and check the box to install Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 which is not automatically included in Windows 8.1. What happens if you right click on the driver and select update? Have you also tried to rollback the driver? Please let me know. Thanks.

HETIS 865G Giga P4 processor support question

I bought Hetis 865G GIGA Barebone. It do not work with Intel Celeron processors - the mainboard can't initialize with Celeron. MSI on-site specification tells me about only 533/800 Mhz Bus and Pentium 4 support. Printed manual tells me about 400/533/800 Mhz Bus and NorthWood/Prescott processors support. Where is the truth? I have Intel P4 256K L2 Processor (Wilamette?). Is it possible to install it in HETIS 865G GIGA?

Multi-core processor support?

Hi, I was looking for multiple core processor support on the AIR runtime but found no information... What about it? Does the runtime take advantage of it automatically? If not, are there some guidelines to create software for AIR that can take advantage of this?

It is automatic. You only have one execution "thread" in AIR, but the runtime uses multiple threads under the covers. Note that Pixel Bender shaders do run on another thread, so that is one way to offload some heavy graphics or numeric processing (if it can be done in a shader program).

Multi-processor support!

I must say that the only feature that will make me upgrade ever again from CS4 (or even to upgrade my MacPro) would be full multi-processor support.
Unfortunately, Adobe has been introducing new features that turn out to be imperfect and NEVER get updated or fixed any more.
Hoping for CS5 to come through!

You're right. What I meant was FULL multi-processor support.
Like saving and opening files, especially when saving large, multi-layered 16 bit files. Just tested it again - a file that is 2.91GB when opened in photoshop (which any file I work on typically is) takes 42 seconds to save as an 8 bit file and (after deleting layers to make it the same 2.91GB when open in photoshop in 16 bit format) takes 5min and 20 seconds to save in 16 bit while the activity monitor shows only one processor being utilized.
I would like to work more in 16 bit but it's not practical now as it takes too long for just the saving part.
At least it should be non-modal so that you could work on another image while others are being saved and/or opened.
There are also a few filters that do not use multiple processors - like the lens blur filter, which works amazingly well but makes me take a coffee break every time I use (especially when used with a large blur amount).

Is Intel Pentium T4300 a member of Pentium-M processors?

Sorry for the lame question but I am reading for the linux-ck kernels and in their repo there is ck-pentm package which they claim to be optimized for the Pentium-M processors which are for notebooks. Since I have a notebook and a pentium processor is it a pentium-M?
My processor is Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4300 @ 2.10GHz <- this is from /proc/cpuinfo

There's nothing like http://ark.intel.com/products/37253/Int … 0-MHz-FSB) in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_In … processors - just look at the TDP difference.

Last version for a Pentium III processor

I have a very old Thinkpad 600x that has a Pentium III (coppermine) processor. The current system requirements for the latest versions of Firefox reference a Pentium 4.
I'm currently running 3.5.13. None of the current add ons work with this version. What is the last version of Firefox that will work with a PIII? Operating system is XP, SP3. I want to install some form of Ad Block, and none are compatible with 3.5.13.

This is a 450 mhz processor. Computer was built in 2000 and still works like a charm. But so much today requires newer, faster hardware. The HD on this thing is only 25G, but it originally came with a 10G HD.
I should think that there might be vast numbers of people out there with functional, but outdated, hardware who still need to access the web and be safe and secure. It kind of upsets me that Mozilla would not continue to support the browsers that work for people in that situation.

Pentium D 930 Support

Which MSI motherboards support the pentium D 930 dual core processor, with both cores functioning? And does this one - MSI P4N SLI-FI Socket T (LGA 775) ATX Intel Motherboard? Thanks for your time.

Well you could click on the Products button at the top of the page, to see the spec of the mobo of choice.
as for the P4N SLI, I think it dose.

Top Processors supported on 3000 N100 768-04U

Can anyone confirm the fastest processor I would be able to put in this system?
It currently has a T2060 processor.
I would like to go all the way to the t7200 if it will work...
thanks
--tmac

It seems that the N100 utilizes either the 945GM or 945PM chipset. If that's the case, you should be able to go up to the Core 2 Duo T7600 [2.33GHz]. However, you may experience elevated operating temperatures as the T7600 consumes more power than the Pentium Dual Core T2060.
**Please confirm the chipset with CPU-Z.
If you are looking for increased performance, a 7200RPM hard drive would be ideal.

Multi processor support Win 7 HP

Dear experts,
I'm running a Mac Pro 2 x 2,8 quad core (8 cores in total) and installed Win7 Home premium-64 in a Bootcamp partition. Everything runs fine, except that I noticed that Win 7 does not make use of the 2 processors. It's only seeing 1 processor (4 cores) and as a result, Geekbech shows half the performance I get when running OS-X Lion.
Is there a way to get WIN7 looking at the other processor also?
Your help greatly appreciated!
Ruud

Hi Hatter,
The only reason I installed Win7 on my Mac is to support a single application, my Tacx VR home trainer software. I never would have guessed that supporting a home trainer would require a professional edition of Windows.
Microsoft build the support for multiple processors in Win professional but decided to remove that from the HP version. That is what I call crippling and I think that this is a ridicules decision. Not only driver problems will be an extra bonus when using Windows, even the operating system itself is not supporting your hardware to the fullest.
I would like to see the chart you are referring to. I could only find a lot of misleading information on this subject. I could even find a Win 7 spec sheet that told me that the HP version offered support for 2 processors!
Regards, Ruud

LMS 4.2 Xeon processor support

Does LMS 4.2 support Intel Xeon X7560 processor in Hyper-V environment?

LMS is supported on Hyper-V but we haven't seen many installations on that platform.
The documentation is a little bit ambiguous on this particular question but generally speaking LMS is not particular about the hardware underlying the OS as long as it meets or exceeds the minimum requirements.

C260 driver error. intel(r)pentium(r)processor n- and j-series/intel ehci usb -0f34

Hi, Ive just vbought my C260 all in one and soon after buying it shopw me a driver error. This shows when looking in devicers and when the lenovo solotion center runs. I have tried to rest and refresh windows but still get this error. I try to fix this issue but all it says is error not fixed. It also shows the driver as disabled on the solution centre. Can anyone help with this problem? Many thanks

Hello I have the same problem as described on here. I telephoned the UK support line who told me that he had never come across the problem before and e mailed me a list of drivers for the machine. I e mailed them including a series of screenshots to illustrate the problem and had this reply. Thank you for contacting us.
In regards to your recent email this is an incorrect error message as it relate to the processor, your processor does not rely on drivers. Uninstall the driver from device manager and the error message should stop however it may reinstall itself when restarted. This error message will not make the computer defective in anyway.
If you require any further assistance then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind Regards
Sean I have e mailed a reply Hello Sean I note your reply. This doesn't not however fill me with confidence. There is an error. If the computer is showing an error message which is not correct then this is in itself an error. If it cannot be corrected because uninstalling the driver will only mean it will re install itself on next start up (or presumably by means of windows update) then again that is in itself an error. How will I be able to continue to use the computer with confidence knowing that any error message I receive may or may not be in fact an error . There needs to be a solution to this regards I am still waiting to hear back
