    No it won't work.
    Among other issues like BIOS compatibility it uses Socket S1 (S1g4) while yor current CPU and mobo use Socket S1 (S1g1).
    It wouldn't have worked either way- S1g1 CPU in S1g4 socket nor S1g4 CPU in S1g1 socket.

    You could try an rm-77 which is 2.3ghz. But, I think that is supposed to be s1 g2. g1 and g2 are not really different (sometimes g2 works on g1).

    If you want to play it safe tho I'd look for a tl-66.
    You can probably overclock easily you know. You have to download nvidia system tools. I was able to get my 2ghz CPU up to 2.4ghz. However, it depends on your RAM speed.

    s1g2 CPUs wont give you any advantage over s1g1 cpus, except for a little better battery life on the zm models.

    Its not like they are generation 1 and 2. Really they are exactly the same, the max upgrade for g2 is a zm-86 2.4ghz, and for g1, its just the tl-68 also 2.4ghz both of which are wildly overpriced.
