here are the specs and will a p4 1.7 ghz (478pin) will work (at 400 mhz fsb) right on this board??

Maybe will get a faster cpu when prices drop.

thanx in advance.

heya Face;

As far as the mobo goes go find some reviews on it, but in genral gigabyte makes good motherboards.

As far as the CPU goes you have a p4 1.7~400fsb Socket 478.

That board is designed to support as stated.
Processor:
Socket 478 for Intel® Pentium® 4 processor.
Front Side Bus:
800/533/400 MHz FSB

I was thinking thats a pretty good indication that it will support your CPU.

As far as running in dual channel mode, ive never tried running a p4~400fsb on a dual channel DDR board, so i cant answer that question, even though it will work in Dual Channel mode with RDRAM.

I hope this helps.

cool thanx for answering the question...
I was pretty sure it would run it and that gigabyte was a good board.

Ill get more stats on it and post them when he gets to work. he was wondering the same as i was.

heya Face;

The 1.7Ghz~400 Celeron is socket 478, even though Gigabyte didnt say it would run the celeron in the information you gave us, i would say there is a pretty good chance it will.
