Hello guys I need some help.

My PC has an Asus P4B-LX mobo with a 1.5Ghz P4 400Mhz bus Northwood processor.
I want to kick up the power a bit so I want to put in a 2.4Ghz processor (the max the mobo can handle). My question is whether I can use a Prescott processor instead of a Northwood. The Prescott 2.4 cpus have a cache of 1Mb while the Northwood 2.4 cpus have 512kb, so I really want the Prescott but I dont want to smoke my mobo.

Can I safely use the Prescott????????



Thanks
Lawrence
