It depends on whether or not the motherboard would support it, which I don't know but it might very well not.
Also, just FYI, even if it could work, buying refurbished parts off EBAY can easily get you a DOA product, because of improper shipping, ect.
And Wikipedia seems to imply it wont work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_478
"While the Intel mobile CPUs are available in 478-pin packages, they in fact only operate in a range of slightly differing sockets, Socket 479, Socket M, and Socket P, each incompatible with the other two."
