Pentium 3 Mobile to Pentium 4

[elliote1234]

Hello!

I have a Pentium 3 Mobile (Socket ppga 478) and the Pentium 4 mobile has the same socket. Whold I be able to use a Pentium 4 in a Pentium 3 machine?

The machine is a Dell Latitude C810 with a Pentium 3 1ghz and 1gb of ram

Regards Elliot

I believe the Pentium III 1GHz CPU is better than some of the earlier Pentium 4's. So it would be pointless to put in a Pentium 4 anyway if it's 1.4GHz to 1.8GHz. The laptop can't use Pentium 4 as far as I can tell anyway.
