    Would this be a possible upgrade considering they use tha same socket. I have a hp8000z 17'' and the p4 runs noisy and hot. The core 2 duo would not.

    i doubt your mobo would be able to support the lower voltage reqs of the core 2 duo, so I would say no.

    The old P4s are on the same socket as the Core Duos?

    631??? Are you sure. (I might be wrong) but wasnt the laptop discontinued before any of the 6XX series P4's were released or is it p4 531? I would doubt the Core 2 Duo(Conroe) would be compatible given the chipset, BIOS and the mobo need to be able to support the requirements of C2D.

    Yes, but they are not pin compatible.
