Banias and Dothan identical pin layout?

[ArchStudent]

just wondering if anyone knows if it will be possible to upgrade from the banias cpu to a dothan cpu in my notebook?

yes, and you'd prolly need a bios flash

I have a Banias 1.4 GHz, and from some info I have read people say I will not be able to swap the two cpu's... everything seems the same... anymore info to read up on?

thanks

Check if your cpu is soldered on. Both of my Pentium M equipped laptops, a Thinkpad x31 and a Gateway 200x have soldered cpus. No upgrading for me.

no soldering in mine so i guess it is a green light
