Hey. I'm sorry for the off topic post, but I couldn't think of another forum to ask my question. I'm just looking for information as to whether there are different sizes Pentium processor dependent upon whether the processor is for a desktop or laptop. I want to see if I can give my old Hewlett Packard OmniBook a little more juice.
There are mobile specific processors. There are laptops that use socketed chips. There are laptops that I believe the CPUs are soldered in.
A good trick is to try to find the motherboard for sale on eBay and see if there is a picture of it without any heatsink or heat exchanger.
