I am getting mixed answers from google so I am hoping to get an answer from some more knowledgeable people here.
I am (hopefully) upgrading a laptop cpu. The cpu currently installed is the Intel® Celeron® M Processor 520 which, according to Intels website is the PPGA478 socket. I have a Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9300 that is, according to Intels website, the PGA478 socket.
There is not much concerning the difference between PPGA478 and PGA478 and I have found conflicting answers from google search. There is a slight physical difference in the cpu's.
Can anybody tell me definitively whether they are compatible or not?
