I figure I'll hit up you guys about this one. I picked up an old Dell Inspiron 9100. I hear they run hot and some people swap in Northwood chips to keep it cooler.
Service tag is 8VYQT51. Here is Dell's system info on it.

"PRC,80546,3.0,1M,P4PD,800,D0" is listed as the CPU. 3ghz, 1mb, 800fsb D0 stepping. It's socket 478 I believe. Does anyone know which P4 this is? Prescott? Is it HT? What I'd like to know is, what CPUs will interchange in this laptop? Is it worth swapping in a Northwood to keep it cool? Maybe that would open up some overclocking headroom.
thanks.
