In August 2001, Intel was forced to rush to introduce a new computer platform represented by Socket 478. Moreover, this processor socket replaced two previous solutions at once - Socket 370 and Socket 423. The first of them at that time was outdated and no longer met the requirements that were put forward to computer performance. And the second did not get much distribution due to the fact that he could not compete on equal terms with the rival Socket A from AMD for the price due to the expensive RAM - RIMM. It was on the wave of these events that the hero of this review appeared.

As a result, it can be noted that Socket 478 is currently very outdated, and it is better for owners of such system units to think about updating a computer. Such PCs have already fully exhausted their resources, and it will be correct to replace them planned and in advance with more recent solutions with an improved level of speed and higher energy efficiency.
