Upgrade CPU on Inspiron B130

Hello all!

I am currently looking into upgrading my processor on my B130.  What I have is an Intel Celeron M 370 1.5GHz 400FSB.  I was curious to know what else would work in it.  I've read that I could get a Pentium M 765 @ 2.20GHz and that would be the max.  I am curious to know if any of the 400FSB Pentium 4M processors would work or not either.  My chipset information is as follows:

Chipset

Detected Chipset:

Mobile Intel(R) 82915GM/GMS/910GML Express Chipset family

Chipset Components

Memory Controller:

Mobile 82915GM/GMS/82910GML

I/O Controller:

 

Failed to identify your ICH

Integrated Graphics:

Mobile Intel(R) 82915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family

Thanks all!

The moble Pentium 4 (or 4m) CPUs will not work in this system.

No, the system uses a Pentium M or Celeron M CPU - the older P4 is a totally different microarchitecture which requires a completely different chipset.

Oh ok.  I wasn't sure becuase a lot of the specs looked the same.  Do you know if its because of the hyperthreading?

Thanks!
