i bought the processor that everyone said i could use for my laptop.

when i install it, is there anything special i need to do?
is it just a matter of taking out the old 1 and putting in the new 1?????

thanks in advance.
melissa

ps- i havent gotten it re-formatted.

(this is the gateway mx3215, in case you forgot. :) )

yes it should be as simple as taking the old one out and putting the new one in, provided the Bios doesn't need an update to support the new cpu.
