Hai

Intel p4 1.7 GHZ (Socket 478)
Intel 845GL chipset on a mercury Motherboard


Above r my system configuration. I am having some problem with my motherboard so i decided to get a new Intel motherboard. As Intel 845GL and GVSR mob r not found in the market i am thinking to go for a Intel Board with intel 865GV chipset, can i have my old p4 1.7 GHZ cpu on this new Intel 865GV motherboard

intel 865gbf is no more under production .. u will only get old stock. do verify its warranty before buying it. i suugest going for the asus p4p-800-vm instead. whateva u buy verify its warranty surely beofre buying.
