Hi! I'm a newbie in this site and I have limited knowledge about computer hardware. I have a damaged mobo (Asus P5S-MX-SE) with a Pentium 4 531 3.0Ghz processor mounted on it. I planning to buy a new board (Asus P5G41T-M LX) but the website doesn't specify the Pentium 4 in its CPU support list but on the other hand it was specified in the user manual that it can support processors with Hyper-Threading. Since the 531 Prescott has Hyper-Threading support, can I still use it with this new board? I have a tight budget as of the moment but I'll try to upgrade to dual cores later. Any advice shall be appreciated. Thanks!

the board should accept the 531 as it accepts the 630 which is also produced using 90nm technology

the only difference between the 600 & 500 series is that the 600s have 2M cache instead of 1M
