    While they're both socket M, the P8600 is only compatible with the GM45 and PM45 chipsets, so it won't work in your laptop.

    Also, I don't think a 0.2GHz bump is really worth what you would probably be paying..

    Fixed.

    But yeah, 1066MHz FSB processors won't work on 965-Series chipsets. Period.

    EDIT: Avatar win, btw.
