I recently upgraded my desktop PC's CPU, I upgraded from an Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz (478 pin).
I also have an old Toshiba Satellite 1800-712 laptop, the toshiba has an Intel Celeron 1.1 GHZ CPU. My question is, can I use the 2.4 GHz CPU in the laptop? Or do they use different standards?

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure but I'm about 95% certain that you can't. By nature, CPUs for desktops are designed bigger than laptop CPUs, especially with the heatsink/fan. Because of the small size of laptops, their CPUs are designed smaller.
I'm sure someone else will tell you for certain, but that's the way I see it.

You can upgrade a laptop CPU though, I've recently swapped the 2.0Ghz Core2 in my laptop for a faster 2.4Ghz Core2

Actually if your laptop is slow, you might upgrade the memory, it supports a maximum of 512mb ram.
To get the kind you need, open Crucial.com in Internet Explorer (it won't work in Firefox) and click "Scan My System". It will tell you what kind you need and you can either buy it from Crucial or elsewhere, be advised that Crucial's memory is more expensive but they guarantee it to work.
