Hi all
I have a P4 2.4Ghz CPU from a Toshiba A70 notebook. I was thinking of using
it in either a new desktop or replacing the cpu on my Toshiba 2410
notebook.
question is
1. would I be able to use the cpu on a normal desktop motherboard and if yes
I would there be any performance penalties or any other problems that might
arise from using the CPU.
2. I currently have a Toshiba 2410 with a P4 1.7Ghz processor. Would it be
possible to change this to the 2.4Ghz if so what probz would I expect
(heating , compatibilities etc) and possible remedies???

I don't think so, if it's a plain P4 and not a P4-M.

Heating is definitely one issue. The 2410 may not be able to handle
it. A 2.4GHZ P4 will generate more heat than a 1.7GHZ. (If by chance
this 2.4GHZ P4 is a Prescott (1MB cache) I would not bother putting it
in the 2410, as Prescott P4's run VERY HOT.)
Another issue is FSB speeds. What FSB speeds can the 2410 handle?
You should be able to look up the specs at Toshiba.com. And then,
what FSB is this new CPU? The P4 has the FSB to internal clock
multiplier locked, so it may not work at lower FSB speeds (or if so,
the internal clock speed would drop so what's the benefit of the
faster CPU?)
