Micro-PGA1/uPGA1 CPU removal(notebook)

[Archman]

Howdy

I was just wondering if anyone knew of how to remove a Micro-PGA1/uPGA1 cpu from a notebook motherboard, as I have taken the notebook apart several times, and have not figured out how to pop the cpu out of the socket. The notebook in question is a Twinhead Slimnote VXe.

I have one other question regarding the Micro-PGA1/uPGA1 cpus from Intel. There are two processors that I was thinking of, a Pentium II @ 400 MHz (The mobile Pentium II processor at 400 MHz is Intel's first processor built using Intel's 0.18 micron manufacturing process, so less heat is put out!) or the Intel Celeron @ 400 MHz.

I've looked at everything regarding the upgrade, and the notebook will accept either cpu, but I was more concerned with performance.

Would the mobile Pentium II at 400 MHz be faster because of the 256 K of integrated level 2 cache as opposed to the Celeron processor @ 400 MHz which is manufactured on the Intel 0.25 micron process and contains 128 K of integrated level 2 cache?

There used to be a performance comparison chart on Intel's website, but that has since been removed.

Thanks in advance

Does anyone have any input on these questions of mine?

Thank you

Hi,
Ive got a notebook built by twinhead but with another brand - its serialnr. is P88TEM but I think its nearly the same one as yours.
Because it fell down and display crashed - on ebay I fortunately bought same as barebone n now Im trying to built one new out of what Ive got.
I poped the cpu out following way (but notice: Ive not yet put it in again!!! Dont know how to! Btw: does anyone know? )
Push it to the down-left-corner and it will unlock with a lil bit strength. So now I was able to lift it - but didnt get it back locked - dont know if you need a tool or something - Im not powerful enough to lock it - just half way lock?!

So I hope it will help u - hope someone else or maybe u can help me?!

Ur newbe jove!
