swaping processors

[spd4life]

i just got an hp pavillion N3390 laptop and i got her all ripped apart, and i was wondering what processor i could go up to. the specs on the processor thats in the lappy now is p3 E with a core freq of 600mhz and 100mhz fsb. i see that there are 133 fsb and 100 fsb processors. newegg has a p3 1ghz core with 133mhz fsb. anyone know if it will or will not work? or should i try and find the 1.10ghz with 100mhz fsb? there is also a 1.13ghz 133fsb listed on intels site, but i have to find someone who still sells one im just playing aorund with this laptop, doesn't really matter if i kill it, i wont have much invested... any idea's / comment are welcome also i noticed on the motherboard there is some dip switches most are on but one is off, anyone know what these do??? lol im tempted to flip the other one on just to see what happens. i will get a pic of it up shortly...thanks for any and all help

laptops are REALLY picky, i'd stick with just 100mhz fsb CPU's, the safest bet is an 800mhz with 100fsb ------ there is no 1.10 ghz with 100 fsb, that's a celeron.

here is a pic of the dip switch at the top of the mother board, above the cpu, anyone know what it does/controls?

this is from intel and shows there was a 1.10ghz processor on the 370 platform, but from my reading there was a problem with the processor above 1ghz and was recalled, but supposedly they fixed the problem and re released them in 2001. according to a review i found while googling around i have found a 1.0ghz (B) which is a 133 fsb, @newegg for 80 some bucks, but im not sure if it will work or if i should find a processor thats a 100 fsb....

1.1.2 Processor Naming Convention
A letter(s) is added to certain processors (e.g., 600EB MHz) when the core frequency alone may
not uniquely identify the processor. Below is a summary of what each letter means as well as a
table listing all the available Pentium III processors for the PGA370 socket.
“B” — 133 MHz System Bus Frequency
“E” — Processor with “Advanced Transfer Cache” (CPUID 068xh and greater)
