I'm upgrading the processor in my laptop currently i'm pretty sure i have he one listed below, I've checked itwith cpuz and the user manual etc. (2.8ghz - 28x multiplier - 128kb cache 1.3um)
The one reason I'm unsure is because its listed as a desk top celeron processor. but it has a 400mhz rated fsb. Which is practically a laptop fsb.
Anyway the user manual listed the most powerful cpu that came with the laptop as new as a 3.06ghz mobile pentium 4. So i bought a 3.06ghz mobile pentium 4 off ebay,
2. If no one knows (i've searched high and low for an answer) how interchanable are socket 478 processors i've only ever dealt with lga775 and it seems like if you have a modest fsb 800/1066 then a bios update will make a fairly old board run new cpus. Is this the case with 478 processors
3. Have i wasted my money.
Sorry for the length of this post just trying to give all info.
