Ya so, this wasn't exactly the 479 Mobo I was going for, but I do not necessarily regret offering $25 for one, which may have been a mistake. However this specific board has very large compatibility. It can run up to a 770M which is a 2.1 GHZ Pentium M to a 1ghz pentium M. These CPUs are basically the fastest single core CPUs before Core 2 launch which was based on them.
what I really wanted was a Asus CT-479 to 478 adapter but I been looking for several years and its so rare that you will never find one.
Anyways what do you guys think, it is a 915 chipset so it can run 98se. It can run XP. You can also run very low power CPUs in ti like 5w power draw cpu.
Don't forget about the Asus CT-479 adapter which is compatible with several Asus socket 478 motherboards. Ran it with the Asus P4GD1 and P4C800-E Deluxe myself.
I had that board years ago, used it as a media PC until HD content became the rule and I needed to upgrade to something beefier.
These days the main attraction of these systems is no longer relevant - even a fat Core i7 clocks down to much lower power consumption than a CoreDuo could manage, and the old chipsets with memory controller ran much hotter than modern ones without it. So really this is purely interesting from a retro perspective.
ya obviously you are not going to use this as a multimedia platform. Anyways a lot of that has switched to streaming using DLNA to smart TVs and that is not that CPU demanding. Pretty much any PC can do that. As far as PVR stuff that is mostly capturing Digital broadcast streams these days from things like HD Home runs this also doesn't require much horse power. That is not the point though. 😊
ya there is several aopen versions 2 of them have AGP, I believe
DFI/ITOX there is a few of them atleast 2 I beleive have a slot for a graphics card.
asrock might have one I am not too sure it maybe a rare board now.
Some are more rarer boards are industrial boards and server boards that may not have expansions
Im more interested in finding AGP Pentium M boards. But this particual board in the original post is probably the top performer and most future features of all of the 479 boards.
That sadens me honestly because it must of been a buy now and not an auction so I missed it. I have searched at least a couple days ago. Any clue how much it sold for?
Originally i wanted the ct-479 so I could run a Geforce 4 4600 or 4800. It's ll good though I have a sick 915 board coming that should be probably faster and just as good with a Quadro Fx1300.

$57.50 + $7 shipping. I would have jumped on it as well had I seen it. It sold buy it now within a two hours of posting.
A couple more have sold from the same seller. Two more sold on 9/1 pretty quickly after listing. Hopefully some folks here managed to get one. 😀
I saw the listings, but didn't end up purchasing since I had just grabbed an Upgradeware XP-TMC that will keep me busy for a while. Plus I got it for less than half the price that the 479 adapters went for. 😎
