As you can see, I have a laptop with a Pentium M 730 CPU (1.6 ghz). CPU-Z shows that it uses the mPGA-479M package.
I (stupidly, I know) bought a Pentium M 760 CPU (2.0 ghz) off eBay, and assumed it also had the same package. After paying for it, I decided to look at the properties of said CPU, only to find out that there's two types for this CPU. One that with an sSpec# SL7SM (which is the one I bought), and it uses 478 pins. The other one has an sSpec# SL7SQ, and it uses 479 pins.
I can't believe I made this rookie mistake :dead:
Does anyone know if I can use the 478 pin CPU safely in my laptop? I'm not sure what that extra pin does...
Thanks!
