    I have a travelmate 2301 with a 1.5gig celeron in it, will the processor from the compaq evo N800c which is a 2.0g p4m fit this board? the motherboard died in the compaq so im going to scavange the parts from it...it has 2 gigs of ram, a 120g 7200 rpm seagate drive as well. I hope the processor can fit..

    That's right - the Pentium 4-M and Pentium M use different sockets each.
    That being said, WHY would you want to use a P4-M? They're actually slower than the P-M, despite the higher GHz rating. Not to mention it'll run hotter and use more power.
