can you mod a pentium4 slot to i7?

[windwaker]

i was wondering i looked on google but its all really old chips to moderatly old chips

No, it has to be socket 1366.

can't be done; they're completely different architectures. A socket 478 p4 can be used with a socket adapter in a socket 775 motherboard, though.

[windwaker]

port adapters change the socket.so can i get (or make) a port adapter.

[windwaker]

aww that sucks i was hoping for a 4 processor i7 motherboard

[windwaker]

well can i modify a board for more than one processor

[windwaker]

yes but all those are for pentium4 not i7

You want to run two Core i7s? What sorta stuff do you need all that power for?
Core i7 isn't optimized for a multiprocessor system. You could run quad core Xeons in a multi-processor setup, though.

4 actualy and im just researching for now

[nevermind1534]

You aren't allowed to run more than 2 i7s on one board, because they don't have an extra connection to talk to the second processor. Only Xeons have this.

aww crappppppppppp

You could always call up IBM and buy a Power 780 system. 64 3.8 ghz cores or 32 4.1 ghz cores with 2TB DDR3 RAM. And 4 threads per core. But I bet it's a little out of your price range.

Why would you want to run a P4 on a i7 to begin with? It would be like trying to put a 4 cylinder engine from a VW rabbit into a Ferrari....

[windwaker]

no an i7 on a p4 not the opposite
