heres my situtation at the moment i have a 2ghz celeron@2.67ghz and my question is would a mobile p4 cpu fit in a desktop skt478 board and if it did i might be able to get a cheap 2ghz mobile cpu..which is better option mobile cpu or a celeron..I know a full fledge p4 is better option than celeron but im tempted to get the 2ghz mobile if it will work and would it be possible to oc it?
are you sure about that? i think i saw a while back some people who put a pentium 4m into a desktop mobo to see if they would get unlocked multis. I remember it working out, only the cpu booted with like a 10x multi or something like that.
If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a processor

ANY P4 would be a far better solution than just about ANY celeron. But I'm not sure mobile P4s (or celerons)will work, someone else claimed it won't, I don't know, could be true.
Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, your board supports 800 MHz FSB, so there is nothing to stop you from buying a cheap P4B or C, or maybe even the 2.4 P4E and overclock the hell out of it. Even without overclocking, you'll get a spectacular preformance increase because the Celeron is such an incredible piece of [-peep-], regardless of its clock. A celeron, even at 2.6 GHz, performs on average about half as good as a barton 2500+, and it gets utterly destroyed even by a Duron 1.6. Its probably considerably slower than a good P3 on a lot of things. Avoid it, at all costs (including free).
OTOH, if you overclock a P4B/C 2.4 or P4E 2.4 to ~3 GHz -which should be pretty easy, you would actually be increasing your performance roughly by a factor <b>3</b>. I wouldnt hesitate a second, get a P4 since you already have the MB. Don't ever, EVER buy a Celeron (unless perhaps the Banias based Celeron-M). Even if you overclock it to over 4 GHz, it will still be a piss poor performer.
In case you think I'm exagerating, check out <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1927&p=16" target="_new"> this review</A>. try extrapolate and you'll see even a 10 Ghz Celeron would be poor at mostly anything except maybe DivX encoding. Its not even worth overclocking.

oops, seems I misread. I thought you where considering a mobile cerelon to replace your current one, but you're considering a mobile P4. I have no real answer to your question here, besides the fact that I doubt a mobile part would be worth the extra $$$, unless you are *very* concerned about heat/noise. Low end northwoods, even the desktop parts are great overclockers, I wouldnt look too hard at the mobile parts if I where you. I'd probably go for a P4 2.4B or E/533 ($128/$140 on pricewatch) and overclock it as far as it goes, which should be fairly high in both cases.

Yes, it will fit. Anandtech put a mobile P4 on one of thier SiS 655 chipset boards to test 200MHz bus speeds, before the "800" bus P4's were released. And it does drop to a lower multiplier.

Anandtech says a mobile P4 WILL work on a desktop board.

I wouldn't have had an answer, except that Anandtech did that story around a year ago (give or take a couple months).

Probably, I believe the Anandtech article showed the Celeron 2400 to be slower than all the P4's they tested against it. I wouldn't spend money on the P4 Mobile though, I'd just get a standard desktop P4 if you have a desktop board to put it in.

It seems like a mobile P4 would be more expensive than a desktop P4.
My friend has had his 1.8A at 2.4B speed for 2 years, simply by changing the bus speed from 100MHz (400 bus) to 133MHz (533 bus).
