P4 LGA ,and P4 ...what's the difference ..and how can I discover that my p4 is one of them ?

LGA is used only for socket 775 CPUs. If you can't find the hint, install the program CPU-Z, it will show what package type you have.\nhttp://www.cpuid.com

P4 is the standard chip\nCeleron is the cheap version of the chip\nXeon is the expensive version and is mainy used for network servers.\n\nGeneral use, the Celeron or P4 are just fine.  If price is of concern, go with the Celeron.  Performance is less than the P4 chip, but for everyday general use, it is not a significant difference.

Yes and No. I own an HP pavilion 8775c with a 933 P3. You realy need to post more info. A modle number would be great.\n\nAnyways, In my case I did a BIOS upgrade. This allowed my board to take a 1.3 celleron I think. The board has jumpers to set voltage, buss and multiplier setting. Problem was in my case and possibly in yours, is that HP takes the jumper pins off and just solders the connections in the possition they want. This means, even if I had that 1.3 it would still show up as a 933 P3. If you want to do an upgrade and have limited funds, I have a few recomendations.\n\nFirst off, some one I'm sure will come around and tell you just to buy a new system. I'm still using my HP P3. It's heavily modified, but runs great and it can still keep up with these new systems. Get an aftermarket Mother Board. An Asus would be good considering they already make the one in your HP. This is why more info would be good. If your CPU is using SLOT 1, this part may not apply to you then. If you're using Socket 370, then try and find a Socket 370 board. Get one with the highest possible CPU support you can get. This way, you can keep all you're current hardware. You can usualy find a good new board on Socket 370 for about 30 to 60 bucks. Then, just spend another 20 bucks on a better heat synk and fan, and over clock it to 933 or 1Ghz if you're feeling lucky. \n\nIf you're on Slot 1, this may be a good time to switch to AMD. LOL

AGP 4x and 8x slots both hold the same cards, so there really is no difference (in what you can physicallyput in them).  You can install an 8x card into a 4x slot without issue (my brother did this).  If you want to put a 4x card into an 8x slot, you may want to check your user manual for your motherboard to see if you need to set any jumpers to avoid frying the card.  Though it probable won't be an issue.\n\nGood luck!

I've found Gigabyte to be one of the most reliable around. I currently run one with a P4 3G. Built it early last year.

If you can tolerate 1.13 GHz lieu of 1.4GHz, they are going for about 20 bucks on Ebay. I am pretty sure your current processor is a "Slot 1", but if i'm wrong, then you have a "socket 370". You'll need to know this for sure before you buy a P3 replacement.

The P4 is a 32-bit processor, so you have a 32-bit system.

This question is outside my area of expertise but here it goes:\n\nExerpt "The video memory of the VGA is mapped to the PC's memory via a window in the range between 0xA0000 and 0xC0000 in the PC's real mode address space. "\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA#Technical_details

I don't know specific abt your model.\nThe best way is to call Compaq Help Line and ask them for the same and they will guide you in detail.\nThe other option is goto your nearest hardware guy and ask them that you wanna upgrade your memory tell him your processor model and he will guide you very specifically.\nIf it's p3 you can go for SD and if p4 you can go for RD or DDR ram.\nGood Luck.\nDJ

look at the board ... if all the slots are the same size ur stuck with pci ... if its got a shorter offset brown one near the center  its probably agp ... if thers 1 or two slots longer than the rest its probably pci-e ... best thing to do is download the free version of everest and run it to get the board model then google the specs ..

right click on my computer and you ll see type of your processor.if it s written there "P4 D" then it s dual

Doubtful. Your PC is most likely a 478 or even 423 socket. You will have to replace it with a like socketed chip and one that your BIOS understands. eBay a P4 2.4 same socket is probably the fastest you will get your BIOS to support, check with the motherboard manufacturer on CPU support since you did not give enough information here.

You can Google the Manufacturer and code printed on the stick.  This looks out of date but may help...\n\nFor 72 pin modules you will see something like \n\n1 x 32-60 \n2 x 32-70 \n4 x 36-60 \n8 x 36-70 \n\nJust like the 30 pin modules, the first value represents the size, EXCEPT it only represents ¼ of the total memory size. Don’t ask why, just accept it. So the value of 4 represents a 16 MB (4 x 4) module. A value of 8 represents a 32 MB (4 x 8) module.\n\nThe second value, again just like the 30 pin, represents parity and the number of pins. 36 is used for parity and 32 for non-parity. You aren’t asking why again, are you?\n\nThe third value represents the speed, the same as the 30 pin.\n\nLast option is put the stick's in one at a time and let the BIOS figure it out on boot up.

A pentium 4 is a single core single threaded processor. This is the normal kind of processors we have been seeing for a while now. \nA Dual core actually contains two (nearly) independent processors in a die i.e. it is as good having two processors on one chip. These chips typically have a lower frequency rating. But they are designed to provide higher throughput. \nHT stands for Hyper Threaded. In technical jargon called Multi-threaded, this processor gives a notion of two processors even the most of the individual components of the processor are shared. (The Functional Units are shared. My understanding is that Pentium 4HT implements coarse grained multi-threading, so the pipeline is the same but the register file will be duplicated.)\n\nWhich one is better depends on the kind of application you are looking at.

You have to make sure the motherboard is the proper socket type for a P4.  save the heartache and have one built for you.  Try this site...great deals...very knowledgable guys...they do it all.

depends on the mother board.\n\ncheck the manuals / manufacturer of the motherboard if your board will support P4.. if not then there is no question of upgrade.\n\nif it does, then buy the compatible processor and just change it.!
