I wanted to see your thoughts on this. I wanted to upgrade my laptop CPU from the Pentium M 370 to a more recent Mobile Centrino CPU. They have the same socket type but I wanted to know if it would would be safe as far as cooling, voltage, etc. Any thoughts or advice?

Does the motherboard accept the new type of processor?

Socket type is just one factor.

If it doesn't then you will probably need a BIOS update which I imagine are non existent for laptops.

I may be wrong though.
