Question between 2 CPU's
Re: Question between 2 CPU's
According to Intel's site there are two variations of the P7350.
Sockets Supported: BGA479, PGA478
You'll have to find out what socket you are running now because the quad core only supports PGA478. You will also need to track down what chipset your laptop is running. From there you should be able to find out if the Q9000 is a supported CPU.
As far as the wattage, you might run into a few issues. One, the CPU cooler can't cope with the added heat. Two, your battery life will be far worse than before. Three, your factory power supply might not be up to the task. These are all concerns that I really don't have any proof to substantiate.

Was this in a laptop as well? Care to elaborate more on your own experience?
