Re: Noob needing help with Processor Compatibility.
In my experience laptop cpus are soldered to the board. The pins are extremely close together, so unless you are a very experienced soldering guru the chances of shorting it out & damaging it & possibly the mobo are high. They are mechanically float soldered on in the factory.
Suggest you stick with what you've got. If you want something more powerful then look into buying a new laptop.
Just looked at an old Compaq M700 mobo I have & can not even see the cpu pins as it's a double sided/density circuit board.
