I was "fixing" a PC for my wife and didn't realize a small screw fell in the CPU fan
and prevented it from cooling the CPU.

The PC ran for about 3 hrs before the CPU toasted...

I only need a new CPU chip, I've got everything else.

I'm looking for:

P4  1.6/256/400   (or something close to it  up to 2.4/512/800 )
sckt 478

Something cheap ($10) and local (Ottawa) would be nice !

Cheers,
Steph

I have a Socket 478 2.8Ghz Prescott CPU, I couldn't let it go for only $10 though, $25 yes (I fought over it for that price in USD less than 6 months ago, but got a 3ghz one too)

(2.8/1024/800)

Just figured I'd offer......

Thanks for the offer, but I think that CPU is beyond my Mobo.
It only has an FSB of 400Mhz whereas your chip is 800.
(...it might still work, but I would paying for features I can't use... )

Besides, another generous member has come forward with an offer I can't refuse...

Just sending out Kudos to KidFlash (Chris)
for sending my a nice 2.0Ghz replacement P4 CPU
which fixed my PC.

Hugely thankful for the help.

Thanks again.
Steph
