I doubt it highly, laptop cpu's have a low fsb and a very low thermal output, i doubt your laptop's mobo would support the processor, and it deffinatly wont be able to keep it cool

Try it, Try it, Try it.

If your reading that you have to say it in a chant kind of way. Like you say fight, fight, fight, accept there is more syllables.

Just figure it out.

And to answer your question. No.

No way will that work dude - it's nice optimistic thinking but... it's just a bit ludicrous.
Wait till you get your desktop parts =]
