That board supports Prescott CPU's but it may require a BIOS update. http://www.asus.com/999/html/events/...e/overview.htm
A Prescott will run hotter, need decent cooling, and consume more power.
It might help if you had the precise Intel part numbers (eg; SL76Y format). | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built machine

Be aware that some laptop vendors have been known to solder in their processors. I don't know if that practice is still done today, but it was somewhat common with older laptops. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1

Cooling should be ok too 
tomorrow i'll try to replace the Northwood CPU | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Media Center PC m7750.it (modified)
