I've build several desktop PC's in the past and have had no trouble with them, except for the occasional component failure
However, now I have a CPU from an IBM G40 Laptop that I'd like to possibly use in a desktop system but I cannot figure out what "type" of CPU it is. I know it's a P4, but as far as sockets go I have no clue.
On the CPU itself it has "2.68/512/400" typed on it.
I'd like to know, if possible, what type of MB would accept this CPU.
BTW: I'm not looking to OC it, just use it as a normal desktop system. I'm building a PC for my parents to use and they don't need anything extreme, just something for emails and word processing.
If you think I'd be better off just selling the laptop CPU and buying a normal desktop CPU I'd be up for that as well. If that's the best case then I'll be having a P4 laptop CPU AND a DDR 266 256mb stick of ram for sale.
Thanks for any and all help!
