Answer 1

You can't use Socket 478 processor on a Socket 479.  They are not electrically compatible even though physically you can install the processor, it will not work.

Answer 2

Nope. Different sockets.  

Answer 3

You can,t upgrade to a core duo but you can upgrade to Pentium M, Celeron M and Tulatin M Pentium III.  

Answer 4

No will not fit,

Why not purchase a package deal motherboard & chip set.

Answer 5

I don't think you'll be able to because of the differnet sockets. If you speak to Intel, they'll recommend what you do, which may include getting a new motherboard.

If you do end up having to get a new motherboard, I think you're better off just buying a new computer from someone like HP or PC Specialist (You can personalize these computers)
