Socket N on dimension 4600

Could someone tell me what socket N on the 4600 represents?

I just purchased a mobo that support a socket 478, is this one in the same? Or do I have to purchase a new chip?

My specs read

1w392 processor, 80532, 2.4g, 512k, 533, socket N, C1

Thanks in advance

Mike

Thanks for your help!

Actually I bought a new mobo, case, heatsink, ram, everything but the chip. That is why I wanted to make sure the chip was a 478. Do you see any problems with using this chip from Dell for the new home built computer?

Thanks

Your CPU is a 478 pin. I imagine the N is for Northwood. I hope you got a replacement Dell board for your 4600; if not, then it won't work in your 4600 chassis without some wiring modifications.

Mike,
There should be no problems using the P4 that came installed in your 4600 with the new mobo. I think joemomma is correct about the N standing for Northwood. Seems to make sense based on the chipset utilized by the Dimension 4600's motherboard.
