|
kenorb Jun 30, 2003, 05:45 AM Hi - I need a replacement P3 1 Ghz processor for a laptop - I can find quite a few but thay all seem to have a different stepping codes. Is this important in replacing the processor? regards. . . . kenorb Memphis Jun 30, 2003, 08:06 AM I would first check you can actually replace it, as they tend to be soldered to the PCB, and you don't want to be de-soldering and then re-soldering a processor! kenorb Jun 30, 2003, 09:10 AM Already got the processor out - it's a socket 370 type - Im just wondering if any processor with the right bus speed, cache and voltage would do? Memphis Jun 30, 2003, 10:26 AM Ah, in that case your best bet is getting some technical information from the manufacturer. You tend to find plenty on their website. keiste_ahia Jun 30, 2003, 10:57 AM just fyi on this... i replaced the celeron 500 on my laptop (dell inspiron 2500) w/a celeron 900... as far as i know as long as the technical specs are the same ull be fine... but check w/ur manufacturer 1st... just to be sure ;) kenorb Jul 01, 2003, 06:51 AM many thanks guys |
