Hello,
I recently bought a slightly used Gateway 400VTX laptop. Right now the processor is a Mobile Intel® Celeron® Processor 2.2GHz. I've always been a Pentium 4 kinda guy but the deal on the laptop was way too good to pass up. I am looking to replace the Processor with a brand new Pentium 4 laptop/notebook processor. I searched on yahoo and couldn't find much on replacing the processor on a laptop. I'm not even sure if it can be done? I had a chat with a gateway rep and I was told that it could not be done. I was a bit surprised when I heard that. I know this can be done with a regular PC but I'm not sure about a laptop. I really hope this can be done because I've heard some bad things about Celeron Processors. Does anyone know anything about doing this? Can it be done with by simply taking apart the laptop, unhooking the old processor and putting in the new one? Where can I buy a Pentium 4 processor for a laptop? Any help or info on this would really help. I need this info a.s.a.p so the sooner the better. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Evan
