replacing Pentium III

The trouble with notebook is that they so darn small and compact; making it deficult to work with but if you think you can do it, by all mean, give it a try but don't put a P4 in though.

Look at the spec sheet for CPU compatabilty. M/Bs will only support certain CPUs. General rule of thumb is 1Ghz increments for performace increase.

Why are you upgrading to Pentium 4???

You can enhance it by upgrading the memory hardisk and OS to Windows XP 2004.

First you would have to "find" a PIII notebook processor. Intel stopped making the about 3 years ago. 2nd the fastest PIII speed was 1.2Ghz at the end of the product cycle. so you can try ebay , but there is no guarentee that your notebook will support a faster processor. I did find one one ebay , Good luck Johnhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=86715&item=6733010916&rd=1

First of all, the PIII processors ran all the way up till 1.4 GHz and were capable of peaking at 2.0 GHz according to Intel on the 133 base clock. Intel decided to discontinue the PIIIs on the Tualatin core since they were cannibalizing Pentium 4 sales. The Tualatins really did beat out Willamette processors that were clocked 400 MHz higher. I had a Tualatin PIII-S 1400/512/133/1.5 and outperformed a Pentium 4 1.8 GHz and the PIII-S cost me less than what that P4 cost. Anwyays, if that PIII is a Pentium III-M 900 MHz, then it runs on Socket 478 or the mini-cartridge. If it runs on S478, then you can replace it with a Pentium 4-M that has a 400 fsb. A P4-M 1.4-1.8 ghz will be a good increase in performance.
