Can i replace a Intel P4-M process with a Intel EE 965??

[rnm]

I have a dell inspiron 8500 laptop and was wondering if I can upgrade the Intel Pentium 4M 2.4 GHz Processor with a new Intel® Pentium® processor Extreme Edition 965. If not, is there some other Intel processor that I can update to?

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

You can't upgrade your laptop with a Pentium EE 965 because :

1- this is a desktop cpu
2- it is an LGA775 cpu and your is a socket 478 cpu...

3. There is no way the heatsink could handle that!

i replaced a p4-m with a p4 desktop cpu from 1.4ghz to 2.6 no prob . it now flys at 58C, dont know what the heat was before but nothings melted yet:)

you can replace a p4-m with a socket 478 pentium 4 desktop cpu.that's right..but it's not possible to replace the pentium 4-m with a PEE 965 ...and it's nearly impossible to cool it with a notebook cooler...no way -.-
