upgrading processor in my inspiron b130

ok...
so i'm fluent with computers
and i know my share
but this is something thats stumped me
i have a dell inspiron b130
and i want a new processor
i know its a 479-pin processor(socket, pin, w/e, you get it)
i think my chipset is 915GML(idk if this matters lol)

so i want somethin bigger then my 1.50ghz(cuz aarons rental is cheap)
can i upgrade to say a core duo? since they all run on 479-pinfriend says i need a new motherboard which this one was just replaced
and i think he's full of
ehlp would be loved please :]

 

That should be Socket M...download and run CPU-Z, and post what it says your socket is.

 

processor: intel celeron M 370

package: socket 479 mPGA

 

You do have a Socket 479 machine with a 915 chipset. You can use any Banias or Dothan Pentium M and any associated Celerons.

ok so i feel like an idiot
but this means i can run a core duo?
but ant of the socket 479 banias or dothan ones i can run?

 

You can't run Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, or any associated Celerons. You can only use Pentium M and Banias/Dothan Celerons. More specifically:

Banias

Pentium M 1.3 1300 1024 400
Pentium M 1.4 1400 1024 400
Pentium M 1.5 1500 1024 400
Pentium M 1.6 1600 1024 400
Pentium M 1.7 1700 1024 400

Dothan

Pentium M 710 1400 2048 400
Pentium M 715 1500 2048 400
Pentium M 725 1600 2048 400
Pentium M 735 1700 2048 400
Pentium M 745 1800 2048 400
Pentium M 755 2000 2048 400
Pentium M 765 2100 2048 400

Pentium M 730 1600 2048 533
Pentium M 740 1733 2048 533
Pentium M 750 1866 2048 533

Pentium M 770 2133 2048 533
Pentium M 780 2266 2048 533

Banias-512

Celeron M 310 1200 512 400
Celeron M 320 1300 512 400
Celeron M 330 1400 512 400
Celeron M 340 1500 512 400

Dothan-512

Celeron 205 1200 512 400

Dothan-1024

Celeron M 350 1300 1024 400
Celeron M 360 1400 1024 400
Celeron M 370 1500 1024 400
Celeron M 380 1600 1024 400

so say i wanted to use that one
it reads 479 socket
so i should be able to right?

 

You can't use that chip. It's Socket P. They label it Socket 479 because Socket P has 479 pins; it's definitely misleading. Either way, don't get a Celeron. A Dothan chip in the 730 to 780 range is most likely your best bang for buck.

 

lol i just said that
i was looking at the 770 and 765
i don't wanna pay over $100 for a 780 and the 770 is like just a little lower, but like $40 on ebay haha
thank you again

 

best solution is to buy a new laptop. No point upgrading such an obsolete one like urs.

 

i really don't want to have to buy a new one though...i'm going to at some point, but i'm just 16 lol
don't have the money
