It's probably a mobile Pentium III-M. They have microPGA-478 package, which is different from microPGA-478 packages used by Pentium 4 and Pentium M.

| I wouldnt bother! Chances are you'll end up damaging the laptop in the process. There will be little performance gain, put in as much memory and a bigger HD instead. |
