Question Upgrading from a Pentium M
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?

Default Upgrading from a Pentium M
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.
