Not sure what kind of CPU I have, but I know it is Intel and it is 2.4gHz. How can I tell what socket it is?

you wouldn't be able to put a 775 chip in a 478 socket (the numbers reflect the number of pins on the chip)
you probably have a 478 pin pentium 4 northwood core. I'm guessing it's running on a 533mhz bus speed. You're not going to be able to upgrade to a dual core chip with that motherboard.
That's pretty much the way it goes really. Rarely are you going to be able to upgrade just a chip alone.

So do I. No, you can't. The socket numbers stand for how many connections the processor has with the motherboard's socket. Next to that, socket 478 is PGA (Pin Grid Array) and socket 775 is LGA (Land Grid Array). It's not going to work, is what i'm trying to get across here, lol.

The slowest 775 ever made was a 2.67Ghz, hence yours IS a socket 478. As others said, you can't put a 775 into socket 478, simply wouldn't fit, square peg in a round hole.

it won't fit. Socket 478 has pins. 775 is a flat processor ain't got no pins.

Even if you somehow got it to fit, it would not work. They are not compatible.

don't try that, I did once and I lost my presser, and that was because of the voltage
