    It cannot, chipset is limited to FSB 667 processors, all intel mobile quads run at FSB 1066, not to mention different pin config.

    cdoublejj, you did the right thing - while it still had any value. It's great you were able to find someone who bought it. =) My 5930g has dead pixels on the screen, meaning we're likely stuck together until forever. =/
