    Recently, I bought Core 2 Solo ULV U2100 (Stepping A1, Socket M(PGA) transformed).
    My main laptop use Intel 945PM.
    When I put U2100, laptop doesn't boot. (no BIOS screen, no error message, black screen, wont boot at all)
    But in my second laptop (Intel 945GM), boot beautifully(recognized C2S U2100 in BIOS).

    I think...
    This is just BIOS(microcode) problem. I need modify BIOS.
    or
    This is VCC problem. Pin mod will help.
    or
    Cant use it, because no C2S listed in 945PM ( http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22817)

    How can I use U2100 on 945PM?
    I really want use it.
