How do I find out what pin package is my Processor?
I want to find this cuz I think my motherboard's gone bad and I need to find a compatible but better one.

Clearly /proc/cpuinfo doesn't display that information...

Anyways, if this is helpful.. /proc/cpuinfo displays this:

I got the information in the Motherboard manual..says that it supports Intel Pentium 4 processors in the 478-pin package.

Do you have the motherboard manual? Should tell you what socket it has.

[edit] I wish the forums would notify you that a reply was posted, display it, and ask if you'd like to continue with your own.

Because your processor has 2.4Ghz and 512KB L2 cache its Intel's Northwood model, based on Socket s478

You can find additional information here:

Thanks but I already got that information.

I am really screwed cuz finding a new mobo with better features (compared to the one I have right now) is difficult for this Processor. It's outdated. Damn!

If you haven't checked CPU prices lately, you may be in for a pleasant surprise.
