I have a really old emachines desktop and this is the current CPU:
Intel® Celeron® Processor 1.80GHz (w/128KB L2 cache & 400MHz FSB)
Its extremely slow and I was reading around and I read that I might need to upgrade the motherboard as well. Well I went to their live chat support and the guy told me that as long as its a mPGA478 socket type it will run on the motherboard.
My question is, is that the same as a 478 socket because I found some cheap used ones on Ebay for around 20 bucks.
Would this one with 2.8Ghz and 1M cache be better than:

Or this with 3.0Ghz and 512 cache:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-Pentium-4...ryZ80143QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Now if those aren't the right ones to fit does anyone know where I could find one that has a mPGA478 socket. I read that its the same as a socket 478 but I just wanna make sure.
And will the installation be hard?
