Intel Celeron 2.40 GHz Desktop Processor (Socket 478 / mPGA478B) – Reliable Retro CPU for Windows XP Era (SL6VT)
Are you looking for a reliable replacement part to repair an aging industrial computer or CNC machine controller, or are you building a nostalgic retro PC from the Windows XP era? The single-core Intel Celeron 2.40 GHz desktop processor (s-spec SL6VT) from the NetBurst (Northwood core) family is an authentic piece of hardware that ensures 100% compatibility with early 2000s software.
This desktop CPU operates at a high base frequency of 2.40 GHz, is equipped with a 128 KB L2 Cache, and utilizes a 400 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). Thanks to its traditional 32-bit x86 architecture, it offers flawless native execution of legacy operating systems where modern multi-core processors often fail due to missing drivers or excessively high bus speeds.
Key Features of the Intel Celeron Processor (SL6VT)
- Physical **1 core** operating at a clock speed of 2.40 GHz.
- 128 KB L2 Cache tailored for legacy software and systems.
- Standard system bus with a **400 MHz FSB**.
- Reliable 130nm manufacturing technology with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of approx. 59.8W.
- 32-bit (x86) architecture designed for MS-DOS, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
- Designed for desktop motherboards featuring the Socket 478 / mPGA478B interface.
Ideal for Industrial Applications and Retro Gaming
Many industrial machines, point-of-sale systems, and diagnostic devices still rely on motherboards equipped with Socket 478. The SL6VT model is the perfect service part for maintaining this equipment, as it requires no software emulation. Additionally, it is a highly sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts who want to build a period-accurate computer to play classic games in their native hardware environment.
Compatibility and Chipsets
This desktop processor requires a motherboard equipped with a **Socket 478 (mPGA478B)** interface. Historically, it pairs best with proven chipsets from the Intel 845 and Intel 865 families (e.g., i845PE, i845GV, i865PE, i865G), as well as alternative chipsets from VIA or SiS from that famous computing era.
