Heat sink compatibiliy problem

[garusic]

I want to ask if the heat-sink of Dell Vostro 1015 is compatible with Dell Vostro 1088. I don't have the part number. Please help me out.

Spoke to a friend who worked for dell and he says most parts on the 10xx series are interchangeable.
CPU fan has a large swap out rate, heatsink should be good to go as well.

No, you will see from the picture they are not the same.
