Xeon cpu on a P4 mobo

Hi,

I am able to get hold of a xeon 2.8mhz 533 fsb chip. I am wondering if this xeon cpu can be put on a single cpu mobo like a P4. I am more familiar with AMD chips and mobo than Intel and barely knows about xeon.

Can somebody point me on a link or website for answers. Thanks

Current Pentium 4 sockets include 478 and 775 while Xeon sockets are 603/604 so while they are often based on the same core and can often use the same chipsets they are incompatible.
EDIT: There are fairly cheap dual Xeon motherboards however, such as the ASUS NCCH-DL for about $200.

cysus,

Thanks for a quick answer. Guess back to duallies again. Hope I can find a stepping close to this one. A duallie xeon mobo with only one chippie sounds kind of sad. Oh well.

With a dual CPU motherboard you are always left the option of adding another CPU rather than buying a whole new system when you want to upgrade.
