Comment: Hi. Recently my desktop computers motherboard burned out and now i have the CPU from that computer just sitting on the shelf in its original box. the CPU is an Intel Pentium 4 3E GHz with Hyper Threading Technology. This CPU is a socket 478 CPU. I have an IBM thinkpad R60 laptop type 9462A16. this laptop has an Intel Core Duo T2300E CPU in it. The Socket type is socket 479. My question is will my Pentium 4 CPU (described above) work in my laptop if i replace the Core Duo CPU with the Pentium 4 CPU? Thanks in advance.

Reply: (edit)Why would you want to do that anyway? The P4 Preshot would drain the battery in no time and overheat in a laptop, all while performing worse (even in single-threaded apps) than the highly efficient, dual core CPU that you currently have.
AMD Opteron 185 @ 3.0GHz
4.0GB of OCZ DDR400 RAM
GeForce 8800GTS 640MB at 625/2000 core/mem, 1500 shader
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Completely owns the Super P3

Reply: (edit)Agreed. You would essentially be downgrading. Don't be fooled by the higher clock speed of the P4...the Core Duo is a better performing CPU.
