I've seen certain people inserting and successfully operating a desktop cpu in laptops and notebooks, it used to be super easy back in the 478 days (having done it myself) but now we have such sockets like lga775 and the i7 and i5 sockets it has become a lot harder, some laptops support it natively and all you have to do is buy and install the cpu, however with other models you have to hack the BIOS to support the desktop cpu's protocols. desktop and laptop mainboards generally have different settings on a hardwired level such as the Front Side Bus and the voltage levels, especially voltage levels.
