laptop cpu?

[ati005]

will a p3 laptop cpu be compatible with a p2 laptop? (toshiba Tecra 8000)

 

[MooseMan1]

depends on the socket type, do u kno if they are the same? also the FSB speeds need 2 be the same or less the what the motherboard can do

 

[ati005]

how could i find out
would it say on the processor?

 

[ati005]

does anyone know?

It depends. Pentium II's use Slot 1 sockets, whilst Pentium III's used both Slot 1 and Socket-370.

yes, on the socket it should say, if it doesn't on the socket then thats odd...also on the processor and often the heatsink as well, it will say on there. if not than look for the model name on the processor and then go look it up online, another option would be to use a diagnostics and system information tool. like for instance, everest home edition, awesome program, and free. http://www.lavalys.com/products/overview.php?pid=1&lang=en u can download it from there, their website. ^_^
