Hey, can someone tell me, if I have a motherboard with a Pentium 4 2.4GHz 478 socket configuration, can I use another Pentium 4 with 1.8GHz 478 socket configuration? Will my PC work after I fully assembled it?

yes but will be slower,you can change chips as long as you stay with the same socket and chipset,but why do you want to go slower,

i second under world here. as long as you are within the same chipset on your processor it will work in the socket but the lower speed will cause the comp to run slower

yes, as long as they both have the same socket nothing will go wrong

There is only one way to find out :) Just keep a fire extinguisher handy when you plug it in and turn it on.
