Need a little chip help

Ok I recently aquired a dead laptop (destroyed screen + chassis damage from a fall so parts are ok) from work and it has a 1.83GHz chip in it, i think its a C2D, its only about a yr old or less.

Heres the chip's info:
LF80537 T5600
7646B482 SL9SG

1.83/2M/667
Intel 06


Can this chip be used as a desktop pc? Im looking to make a small HTPC and was hoping they make desktop mobos that can run this.

Oh and the socket on the mobo's a mPGA478MT, dunno if this helps.


Sorry if this is a noob question, I havent done much hardware research in 2 yrs til now (looking to build a quadcore gaming box) and still am learning the intel side.

You can hook a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse up to it and just run it like that.

But I would advise against trying to find a mobo for that C2D. It is socket M, so you may be able to find a board designed for Sossaman Xeons that will run it, but I can't check right now because the egg won't load.

I'd say your best bet is to just use it with external peripherals, or just set it up running linux and folding!


edit: I got newegg to load and found this interesting tidbit:

Thanks for that newegg link. I may go for that, it would be perfect for HTPC duties.

Theres only a handful of desktop motherboards that support Core 2 Duo Mobiles, and most of them aren't of the highest quality. Heres the only one on newegg, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813153077
