I searched for any related topic regarding CPU upgrades for notebooks, so far I've come up empty, and since I'm a lil bit lazy, i'll just go ahead a ask.
I have a Gateway MX3225 notebook, and I was planning on swapping the Celeron M 1.5 Dothan for a Pentium M 1.5 Dothan mainly for the battery life. I've researched a bit on the processor and its pretty much identical except for the L2 cache (1MB Celeron vs 2MB Pentium), and having a 478 pin. I took apart and checked my notebook and it does have a socket type instead of the soldered type. So I would guess that the processor can be swapped out. My question is, will this process in any way harm my notebook? sorry for the long story. lol
thanks again!
