| 1. no. different architecture, changing processor is not like swapping RAM 2. No. same as above, and it would be far too hot for a laptop. as temperature.

| No and no. It's architecturally and physically impossible. The logic boards on both systems are totally different and only work within their respective architectures. Even physically they would not work since they most likely aren't pin compatible. ___ EDIT: DAMN....too slow.
