Hi my processor is overheating (its pretty old) and I am trying to buy a new processor for my Sony laptop PCG-FRV27, right now it has Intel Pentium 4, 2.6ghz speed, its Northwood, L1 Trace Cache -12K. L1 Data Cache - 8KB. L2 chache - 512KB, Socket type 478 Pin, die size 131 mm2. It could be a bit slower or a bit faster than the processor I have right now.
Someone suggested repairing the fan and cooling system but they do work fine. I can't work with the current processor because it overheats so much that it automatically shuts down the computer. Fan and cooling system work fine.
Newegg has a processor in stock but its a bit faster - Intel Pentium 4 2.8B Northwood 533MHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 478 Processor - OEM - so I am wondering if this would work with my laptop. Here is the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116215
I already bought this item without thinking ahead. It has very exact spcs as my laptop processor, the only thing is that its a bit faster and it doesn't specify whether its for laptops of desktops.
I am lost because I am not sure whether its a desktop processor or laptop, or it doesn't matter?
If anyone knows, (and if the Newegg processor won't work) could you please suggest a processor that would work with my laptop?
Thank you very much
