AMD has Dual Core processors, and they're dirt cheap. Like literally dirt cheap. You would only wanna put one of those in your comp if it was a desktop, and you didn't have the money for an Intel chip. (Not all AMD chips are bad, I've just heard that the 2 Core ones get hotter than the Intel equivalent, which you don't want in a laptop.)

You have two problems, one is that laptop and desktop chips are different, and cannot be swapped with each other. The second is that AMD and Intel chips are different, and cannot be swapped with each other. As for what you can put into your laptop, would need to now the model number, Email or IM me and I can help you out.

nope again :) Desktop CPU's need a cooling tower (heatsink) with fan. Laptop CPU's are made to dissipate the heat differently.
Check out:

and see if you can't find the dual-core you'll need for your laptop. You'll want to make sure that your laptop motherboard *can* indeed accomodate a cpu upgrade.
Good luck!

in most cases no...you can swap desktop and laptop processors
but you have a bigger problem which is, NO way can you put an intel chip on to an amd mother board.

look on the stressful tension speed to boot. the computer ought to only be a 4200 rpm the place the own pc is probable a 7200 rpm tension. you would be conscious (area with the aid of area assessment) a difference, not in basic terms in processor (cpu) yet documents pass (stressful disk).

No they take totally different processors. The laptop cpu has to take a great deal more heat.
