Chipset in Inspiton 1150

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I have an inspiron 1150 / Mobile Pentium 4 2.66GHz 533Mhz FSB.
Anyone knows what chipset this laptop has?
CPU-Z says it is i855GM/GME. In Device Manager: Intel 82852/82855
GM/GME/PM/GMV.
I saved a dump from the registers with CPU-Z and checked the 855GM/GME
Datasheet. In the CAPID (Capability Identification Register), Offset
0x40 shows that It is an Intel 855GME GMCH. What is strange is that
855GM/GME are Centrino chipsets (for Pentium/Celeron M) and they only
supports 400MHz FSB.

The original Inspirion 1150 had a problem with overheating, so I believe
they went to a different chipset in later versions. I believe they went
from P4s to Celeron M. You might call Dell and see if they can determine
what you have via your serial number.
