    Hello, friends!

    I'm going to change my PU073 mobo (with nVidia) to Intel chipset motherboard.
    Could anybody tell me, what is the difference between GM848 and Y351D?
    And will Y351D suit my XPS laptop?

    They are the same. Probably just made by different ODMs, etc. Either will work, but if you are switching from an Nvidia mobo, you may want to change your Nvidia heatsink as well.

    Yes, i know about heatsink. There is no proublems with it.
    My question about mobos difference is based on different prices on eBay (for example this sell has both types of motherboard, but price for gm848 is higher items in M1330 store on eBay! ).
