i believe its for mobile processors in laptop, its a 492 Ball Grid Array

It came before socket A. It's completely phased put by now.

EDIT: I think...

EDIT: I think Ku-Sama's right, ignore my stupidity... Although I can't really find anything about it.

yeahh, it is a mobile processor, in my Latitude, i was gonna upgrade the cpu, or should i not? not sure what the max. is either...

 

[Ku-sama]

your latitude has an AMD processor in it?

 

[jp198780]

should be Intel?

 

[Ku-sama]

maybe its like socket 7 and it can use all processors?

Dell just recently started making AMD machines

 

[Ku-sama]

his laptop is far from new...

my Latitude is about 6 yrs. old, it's not AMD Kusama, cant be S7..

 

[Ku-sama]

i never said it was a socket 7, i said maybe that the 492 socket acted like the socket 7

oo, i wouldnt know, if i could find a faster CPU, would i be able 2 switch em out? or would it be better 2 just leave it alone and add more RAM? i can go 2 512..

 

[Ku-sama]

well, personally, i say save teh feck up and buy yourself a decent used laptop..
