use of Celeron processor in a intel motherboard

Can a celeron M processor be used in a motherboard that currently takes an intel M processor. Basically, can the tow processor be interchanged? (I realize the performance is not teh same, etc...)

Any imput would be appreciated.

Computers are electronics. My first job out electronics school was computers. We studied computers in electronics school. Of, course, we used oscilloscopes to troubleshoot computers back then, and we had to insert machine code to do it.

If it fits in the socket, it's worth a try. It might not work with your board, but it shouldn't hurt anything. Generally, the Celerons and Pentiums of the same generation are interchangeable. A Celeron M would probably be a downgrade from a Pentirum M. Andy Cuffe

You could have spent a lot less energy and bandwidth just answering the question. Some of us - I for one - don't mind occasional off-topic questions as they expand our horizons and we get to come out from under our rocks. :)

What exactly is your point?

Heh. The genius's machine is probably compromised.
