Change Celeron to Pentium

[deviansp]

Does anyone know if the Micro-PGA2 SL584 (Celeron 800MHZ 128MB cache) in a Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop can be changed to a Micro-PGA2 SL5TF (Pentium III 256MB Cache) or something better/similar?

I also wanted to know if the video adapter/card is upgradable as well. Currently it has 8MB of vram but I cannot remember the make.

Many thanks,

d.

According to Dell website Inspiron 400 laptops support Mobile Pentium III processors, so you should be fine by changing your mobile Celeron to mobile Pentium III:

As for the maximum speed you can upgrade it up to 850 MHz or 1 GHz processor. See links below to find out which processor will work in your motherboard:
