RE: Laptop CPU upgrade help needed...

hi guys,  i've got a friends laptop, & we're trying to upgrade the CPU,  it's currently got a Celeron M 1.4 in it, code SL8ML

it's a socket 478, & i was hoping my old mac mini skt 478 would run in it, but unfortunately it won't boot with it in (core duo, which i believe is a socket 478 "p" rather than "M")  basicaly i'm looking for a "best geuss" on a cpu thats likely to be compatable, i know it's a bit of a shot in the dark, as it depends on what the lappy's board will be able to recognise (HP Easynote R1004)  but as the cpu is easy to change i'm willing to have a few punts, since most of these cpu's can be had for £10/£15 off fleabay with a bit of patience Happy

this is about the best i can geuss at..

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120541206234&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

which is a 2ghz P4 "M"


any help appreciated Happy

Edit= A bit more info =  this is printed on the cpu = 1.4/1m/400    speed/type/FSB ?

got a 2ghz SL7SM for £8 inc delivery,  seems to match, apart from the FSB, which is 533 rather than 400...  worth a punt, as all the other 400 fsb ones i can see are 1.5ghz at most Sad 

BUT... if it doesn't work,  is it worth my while getting one of the "proper" p4 mobile cpu's over the crap 1.4 celeron m thats in it ?
