Socket 479 is the CPU socket for the Intel Pentium M, a mobile processor, normally used in laptops, as well as Tualatin-M Pentium III processors. It uses a different pin-arrangement from socket 478, making it impossible to use a Pentium M in a normal 478 board. Asus makes a drop-in board (CT-479) which lets you use socket 479 processors in selected Asus boards. Currently, the only chipsets for the Pentium M are the Intel 855GME, Intel 915GM and Intel 6300ESB.
Recently, Intel has released a new socket 479 with a revised pinout for its Core processor, called Socket M. This socket has the placement of one pin changed from the original Socket 479 in order to make the different processors incompatible in the incorrect socket. Socket M supports a 667 MT/s front side bus with the Intel 945GM chipset.
