I have a question about 478 processor. I bought my computer before three years and now I want to replace its processor with a stronger model. However, seller told me that my motherboard support only socket 478 processors and that newer processor could not work with my computer. Why? I also want to do CD/DVD upgrade. What is minimum CPU speed for burning?

If your motherboard really supports only socket 478 processors then you have a major problem. That standard of processor is abandoned before three years. Now, Intel produces LGA processors and they cannot fit on your motherboard. The CPU socket is very different for 478 and LGA type of processors. In addition, there are no adapters that could help you to overcome this problem. Therefore, either you could replace your motherboard together with your processor or you could try to find some used stronger processor on the Internet. If you decide to replace the motherboard be sure to check are all the other components in your computer compatible with your new motherboard. Any Pentium 4 class CPU and most of the Pentium 2 and 3 can burn so do not worry about that.
