    Hi,
    I have an Inspiron 2650, whose cpu I would like to replace with one from an Inspiron 1150. The 1150's cpu says. says 2.8GHZ/512K/533. Does anyone know if the 2650 will take this processor?
    Thanks,
    ..... john
    P.S. The 1150 works alright, except that the screen instensity varies, and goes off after a couple of minutes.

    Thanks guys,
    I have managed to get the Inspiron 1150 to boot, so I'm now looking at it as a viable unit.
    Thanks for your help....... john
    P.S. I have not yet tried to install the 1150 cpu in the 2650.
