    Do M1330's use different heatsinks for different CPU's?

    I am wondering if I bought a slower 1.8ghz m1330 if I could later on pop in a nice T9300 2.5ghz Penryn and have the cooling solution handle it. I would think Dell would use the same heatsink part to save money on fabrication, but better safe than sorry.

    Anyone know the answer to this?

    Thanks!

    They both have a 35w TDP so you will be fine no matter what. But yes I agree likely the same cooling solution regardless of CPU.
