    Looks as if they're two different sizes. I don't think that duo core processor will fit in your notebook. I would try calling intel to confirm.

    If they're different sizes, it won't fit.

    Hm that's interesting. If your mainboard is a 945, then up to Merom Core 2 Duos SHOULD work - I'm not sure why the chips are two different sizes.

    You definitely have a Socket M machine, but it's kind of ambiguous what chipset you have...

    If you have the 940GML, you can basically only upgrade to any of these processors:

    Core Solo T1350 1866 2048 533

    Core Solo T1200 1500 2048 667
    Core Solo T1300 1660 2048 667
    Core Solo T1400 1833 2048 667
    Core Solo T1500 2000 2048 667
    Core Solo T1600 2166 2048 667

    However, if you have the 943 or above, you can upgrade to the Core Solos and additionally:

    Core Duo T2050 1600 2048 533
    Core Duo T2250 1733 2048 533
    Core Duo T2350 1866 2048 533
    Core Duo T2450 2000 2048 533

    Core Duo T2300 1666 2048 667
    Core Duo T2400 1833 2048 667
    Core Duo T2500 2000 2048 667
    Core Duo T2600 2166 2048 667
    Core Duo T2700 2300 2048 667

    Core 2 Duo T5300 1733 2048 533

    Core 2 Duo T5500 1667 2048 667
    Core 2 Duo T5600 1833 2048 667

    Core 2 Duo T5200 1600 2048 533

    Core 2 Duo T5500 1667 2048 667
    Core 2 Duo T5600 1833 2048 667
    Core 2 Duo T7200 2000 4096 667
    Core 2 Duo T7400 2166 4096 667
    Core 2 Duo T7600 2333 4096 667

    Pentium Dual-Core T2060 1600 1024 533
    Pentium Dual-Core T2080 1733 1024 533
    Pentium Dual-Core T2130 1866 1024 533

    which CPU did you end up putting in? I think your board supports up to the Core 2 Duo T7600 2.33ghz 4mb L2.
