I'm trying to find out if it's possible to upgrade a laptop's CPU for someone. They're complaining that the Intel Celeron CPU is too slow (I agree). The laptop is an HP Pavilion zt1250 with a Celeron 360 (I think? I'll double check when I get the chance to) running at 1.3GHz. Ideally, I'd like to put a P4 Mobile in it. Do you think it's possible? I'm having trouble finding the specs on this laptop, and what it supports. The only pdf I found did show that it supports a P4, and a P4 M CPU. I don't know if the document was for the correct laptop though. Sometimes HP has incorrect info.
I don't know much about CPU upgrades for laptops, so is it as simple as just popping in a new CPU if the board supports it? What about heat? Do I need to worry about the chip running hotter than the OEM one?
Thanks
