I have a zd7000 laptop with a 3.06GHz HT 533 CPU inside. How would I be able to tell if the CPU is a mobile or a desktop? What is the difference anyway?

I want to use the CPU on the MSI 651 barebone.

Please advice :)

its in your laptop

its a mobile

difference is ..lower power consumption and the multiplier is unlock downward (speed step)

you can use mobile chip (NORTHWOOD, 512KB Cache) in mega but it will run at 12x133 = 1.6GHz only. no way to adjust multiplier because chipset/bios do not support speedstep

Not true. Laptops also use desktop processors. Example would be IBM G series notebooks.

This is a desktop processor. This notebook is desgined as a desktop replacement.

There are quite a few difference between the desktop and mobile processors. Best way is to Google it and you will find an explanation.

I agree this is a desktop processor - AFAIK, Intel hasn't made any HT mobile CPU's (yet...). In the future, you can use CPUID (http://www.cpuid.org/index.php) to tell you what CPU you have in there.

So if Intel hasn't made any Mobile 3.06GHz then I guess my CPU must be a desktop version then! :) I went to a zd7000 forum for my laptop and people post pictures on how to swap the CPU for my laptop... very interesting. They were using a desktop 3.2 northwood.
