Questions about this item
Does the Pentium 4 2.8 GHz processor include a heatsink or fan in the box?
The supplier title lists this as a processor only, so a compatible Socket 478 cooler must be purchased separately.
Should I choose this 533 MHz FSB model or a different front-side bus speed for my Socket 478 motherboard?
Select the 533 MHz FSB version only if your motherboard specifically supports that bus speed; otherwise the processor will not function correctly.
