LAPTOP FORUM

My wife has a Toshiba Equium L10 which Ive recently stripped down and
rebuilt due to a faulty power socket. I was surprised to see a
socketed processor under the heatpipe and did some research. It
appears that the Celeron M360 and the Pentium M765 share the same FSB,
TDP (21W) and socket, so the question is, is the mainboard likely to
recognise the Pentium processor?

The main issue I would imagine would be the fact the Celeron is not a
Centrino processor and hence has no speedstep facility so the
mainboard may not behave correctly with the Pentium M. The Pentium M
also features 400MHz bus with netburst feature which is not a listed
feature of the Celeron M.

Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Regards,
TH.
