Hi all. I've seen around on websites about people talking about them putting mobile Athlon's into there Socket A motherboards (proper desktop ones) and I was wondering if this was actually possible?

I'm wondering this as my laptop has a mobile Athlon XP 1900+ CPU running at 1.6GHZ, with an average s/TS of approx 5.23, although the memory in my laptop causes the s/TS to stay around 5 (it has 133MHZ SDRAM memory).

I was wondering if I could take the CPU out when the laptop is out of warranty (this year) and slot it into my old motherboard which supports a FSB of up to 400MHZ, and supports DDR memory (meaning increased performance for the processor).

However, I'm not sure what the FSB of the mobile processor is and if it will run in the motherboard or not. The motherboard I plan to put it in is a Asus A7V600-X, and at the moment has an AMD Duron 1800 running at 1.8GHZ (approx 4.25 s/TS, due to the small L2 cache).

Thanks!

Although it is an overclocking site, I believe they touched on that point.
