You mean a desktop CPU to a laptop, no.

well tell me how in some laptop there can be 3000mhz

Highend laptops are made with highend components to begin with. You cannot change laptop proccessors on most laptops, although you can on some. (But then your still limited to what proccessors are avaliable)

Desktop processors produce too much heat for a laptop to handle as the cooling is ussually allot less than that you would find in your normal desktop computer.

It can't, the chances of finding a 45nm 3GHz processor that can be supported by the laptop's motherboard is virtually zero. Even if you could it'd be silly considering the cooling you'd need. You might as well just get a desktop or an Alienware laptop.

It's really up to you personally and what you want to do. I wouldn't spend that much money on an upgrade for a game because I don't game much and that will be obsolete soon anyway. That's the problem with PC gaming, they always need the latest hardware.

If you want to play the game though, what sort of processor do you currently have?  If it's a laptop, then you're better of getting a Desktop for serious gaming as you'll be able to upgrade easier and cheaper than a laptop. If you have a fair bit of money to spend get a new desktop with a decent processor and graphics card, if you're more limited then get a new graphics card instead.

If you are talking about your laptop, As far as i know, you cannot upgrade the video card on it?. You would be better off just to get a desktop computer, laptops are usually shite for playing games unless their highend.

Plus the power consumption of a 3 gig processor in a laptop must be amazingly high.


-- Posted by whimsy at 3:36 am on July 10, 2008

laptop cpus are specifically designed for lower power consumption and lower heat. I've even heard that often laptopt cpus are underclocked to that aim.

Even then, high end laptops don't last very long when just on battery power.

Might be possible... really don't see the point but.

You may be able to find a better laptop cpu and put that in...   even that seems a bit unlikely though, seeing as how proprietary laptops tend to get. Plus it'd probably void your warranty.
