I have a Dell XPSGen2 with a Pent-M 760 2.13ghz
With the CoreDuo and Pent-M both using a Socket 479 mPGA I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the P-M. I know they use a different chipset one using the 915 and the other the 945.

Just wondering if its possible OR if anyone has tried.

Unless someone comes out with some kind of adaptor(highly-highly unlikely), nope.

tanker is right, Core uses the newer Socket M, which, like AM2, changes one lousy pin making it incompatible, screwing all us Pentium M'ers out of an upgrade.
