    (I know about bridging two pins tweak, not too sure about that, sounds like it wouldnt work too well). Any feedback other than its not possable would be nice.. Ive heard the people sayin get a new one, :eek: or it cant work, :eek: other people have done it with different laptops.. :cool: I cant afford a new computer so unless you want to donate a dual core.. :) Only people who may be able to help answer (please), would be nice if there is someone with a good idea.. thanks all :confused:

    No way to put a dual core processor in the Pentium M slot. You'll have to get a different computer.

    You have probably heard of people dropping core duos into core solo motherboards. This is different.
