"M" stands for Mobile, usually Pentium M processors are used in Laptops (like mine). Please see link for additional detail.
The Intel Pentium M is a type of processor that is used in laptops. The M stands for mobile and the Pentium M is designed to use less power and generate less heat than a processor used in a desktop.
No. The Pentium M is an older, 32-bit only processor. The Pentium Dual-Core is faster and supports 64-bit operation.
The Latitude D610 uses an Intel Pentium M processor, and the highest speed Pentium M Processor that is officially supported by the D610 published specifications is the Pentium M Processor 770 (2.13GHz) I know of reports of the Pentium M Processor 780 (2.26Ghz) being used, but I have not personally verified these. As of my last check with Dell directly, the 770 was the highest processor officially supported. An unsupported processor means no real assistance from Dell if you're having problems.
There are no "ports" on a Pentium processor.
Nobody, since there is no Pentium 5 processor.
There is no "Pentium R" processor. Knowing this, the biggest difference is that the Pentium III exists and the other does not.
The intel pentium M processor is meant to be an mobile microprocessor. It was designed specifically to work with laptops and notebooks. However, several companies have integrated them into their motherboards.
The first Pentium processors (Pentium 60 - 66). A Pentium OverDrive processor is also available for it.
A Pentium 4 processor, and a motherboard that supports it.
pentium mmx
Yes, the 1.7 with 2mb L2 cache will work great, but it means a complete disassembly of the laptop in order to get at the cpu socket.
Probably the Pentium Dual-Core, as it is the most recent processor to bear the Pentium name.
