    hey guys i have a dell latitude c600 and it has a pentium 3 851mhz, and i also have a intel celeron m cpu 520 @ 1.60 ghz. they are both the same socket size, (oh sorry this is on a laptop running windows xp home sp3) do you think i can pull a swap out and every thing work fine???? ive done this type of thing on desktop pcs but laptops are way more finiky to mess with, i think it will work but im just looking for some opinions. the lap top has had a bios flash i did all that and all drivers are up to date. so what do you think?:confused
