Upgrading a T60p

Hi guys, really stupid question, but why can't you just put a quad core Core 2 Duo?

Hi guys, really stupid question, but why can't you just put a quad core Core 2 Duo?

Because Core 2 Quad only comes in a desktop packaged array (775 pins), and laptop motherboards only run 478 pins.

It won't fit.

And this isn't even taking into consideration that there is no possible way to keep one of those cool with a TINY laptop heatsink and fan.

Quad core for laptops won't happen for AT LEAST another year (after Intel shrinks them on the upcoming 45nm process node).

Ah, I see, that makes sense. Thanks
