Socket-478 vs. 423: This translates into one main difference. The new 478 model will allow for a much more densely packed arrangement of pins known as uPGA, or micro Pin Grid Array, interface. This simply results in the capability of the CPU to be much smaller and the space occupied by the interface socket on the motherboard to decrease as well. The entire Pentium 4 line will be available in both Socket-423 and 478 versions, although eventually all of the processors will be the more advanced Socket-478.

This 423-pin to 478-pin CPU Socket Converter works for both 0.18-micron Willamette and 0.13-micron Northwood (the adapter is equipped with an independent voltage regulator), which makes the novelty a universal headache remedy for the owners of old Pentium 4 based systems. Newer Socket-478 motherboards will still primarily be based on Intel’s 850 and 845 chipsets so there isn’t much of a reason to upgrade boards other than to gain CPU support for Socket-478 processors.

This is a really cheaper way out than buying a new mainboard which would only have a different CPU socket.
