HI all,

I am trying to upgarde cpu on my laptop dell inspiron 1300 and it has got 910 gml intel chipset, according to specifications it may take take Pentium centrino (the ones with 2mb l2 cache)

I tried upgrading to sl8u6 (Intel Pentium 1.8ghz with 400mhz fsb) the laptop refused to boot up.

However checking other forums it appears several people have success with upgrading their why mine didnt?
By the way my bios is already updated to the latest version A10.

any hints comments or suggestions are more than welcome

I want to upgarde to cpu to make this laptop to reach its full potential,
I have installed windows server 2003 r2 with exchange on it and at some I may host my own website.
HDD is already been upgraded to 320gb and ram to 2gb (Maximum supported ram)
System at the moment is running fine, I just thought bit more cpu power will be great cause its only running Celerom M 1.5 GHZ with 1mb Cache.

By the way, i just had a tinkling that sl8u6 is enhanced speed step technology and celeron m isnt,, I think that may may be another reason for failure?

I may sound nuts from above however I am not a big fan of PC's, laptops do for me, even theough they dont provide me with any kind redundancy .
