One can purchase a Pentium M from a variety of locations. You can try your local computing store, an electronics retailer, or a large department store. You can also try Amazon.
Pentium M was created in 2003.
There are version of Intel Pentium one through four as well as Intel Pentium Pro, Intel Pentium D, Intel Pentium M, Pentium (2009), and Pentium Duel Core.
No. The Pentium M is an older, 32-bit only processor. The Pentium Dual-Core is faster and supports 64-bit operation.
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.
Pentium Duo Quad, Pentium core duo, Pentium D, Xeon, Itanium, Pentium M, Pentium 4, Celeron, Pentium 3, Pentium 2, Pentium Pro, 486, 386, 286.
"M" stands for Mobile, usually Pentium M processors are used in Laptops (like mine). Please see link for additional detail.
Pentium 4 - Intel's flagship CPU of the time. Sacrificed efficiency in favour of a higher number of clock cycles. Around the 4Ghz mark the design was changed significantly and is now based around the Pentium-M which runs cooler Pentium M - Originally designed for laptop use (Mobile?). A (heavily) modified version of the Pentium 3, optimised for power efficiency. Includes SpeedStep, to slow down the CPU when appropriate to save energy. Some motherboard manufacturers make desktop mobos for use with these chips. Still in development. Very popular Celeron - Any of a large number of budget x86 processors. Typically either a P3 or P4 with a reduced cache to save costs. The newest ones are based on either the P4 or the Pentium-M Centrino - The name for Intel's all-in-one mobile system, typically incorporating a Pentium M, Intel chipset and Intel wifi adapter. Used a lot in laptops due to low heat radiance Pentium M supposedly uses less energy. The M stands for Mobile.
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.
AnswerA Celeron was a cost-reduced version of an Intel Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium D, or Pentium M. It was made cheaper by not including as much L2 cache (the first ones had none at all), and was aimed primarily at the lower-end market.
for basic usage , yes you can
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_m lists the Pentium m as having comparable speed to the Pentium 4, so my initial guess would be that there wouldn't be a problem. The underlying libraries etc that a program links to are provided by the OS, not the chip, so I can't imagine there'd be a problem there.
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.
