I have a Gigabyte 8S661FXMP motherboard. It had a P4 2.4Ghz processor in it.
I have a laptop which cant be fixed and has a Pentium 4 M 2.8Ghz.
I put the Pentium M in my desktop and it boots fine and runs fine, yet I have only been running it for about 30 minutes and shut it down.
I have now run it for a complete 2 days without lock ups or anything. I have just been letting it idle, although I did do a defrag of a 120Gig hard drive which the hard drive was thoroughly fragged. So that was the first intensive thing done to my desktop with the pentium M processor.
I runs at a cool 24 degress C.
I did read that some laptops were socket 479 but i double checked my laptop and it is definitely socket 478. Both my desktop and laptop are socket 478.
When I boot my system up, it does tell me that its a Mobile processor.
What kinda issues would I need to look for as far as capatibility issues.
I kinda took the situation as, it boots up and runs so it should be fine.
You were able to fit the CPU, without bending pins - obviously, it's running. I'd say - no problem. But don't just look at the CPU speed as a performance indicator. Chances are that your original CPU had a higher cache, which will dramatically improve performance.
On another note: your disk was badly fragmented... hmm... are perhaps a windows user?

Yeah, windows, but I do run a myth system. And actually the pentium M i have has 2mb cache...no i didnt bend pins , because i triple checked it before putting in my desktop.

I was just booting up my system and it says Mobile Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz...
Is that different then a Pentium M processor..Im thinking if it would say "Pentium M....etc" if it was a Pentium M model .because I know they made pentium 4 's for laptops that were the same as desktop p4's..
So i was just thinking that if its the p4 desktop type ..then its even better for me...

Pentium M and Mobile Pentium 4 are two completely different processors. Pentium M is based on Pentium III core, and therefore way faster at same frequency than Pentium 4, while drawing less power (longer battery life, runs cooler). Centrino is a version of Pentium M. Currently fastest Pentium M processors run at 2.26GHz (which is actually faster than that Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHz you have).

The original poster had a Pentium 4 M, that is based on P4 and is NOT the same as Pentium M. All Pentium M's are S479 too. P4M should work ok as a replacement for a P4, esp. if you kept the P4 cooler.

Well, that's exactly what I said.

The processor in the laptop was a socket 478 and so is my desktop its also a socket 478. So all i did was take the processor in the laptop and put it in my desktop. I have been running it for the last days since I first posted. I kept the original cooler and fan that is in my desktop. I also like that it runs between 23C and 28C.
