Have an old Gateway laptop and found a Phenom II processor same wattage as my current process and I would like to upgrade it will it work in my laptop.
 
Unlikely.

We don't have enough information either.

1) Must be the same SOCKET
2) The laptop BIOS must also have the CPU listed

Other:
If you want to make your laptop a bit snappier, then there are a few options depending on the hardware you have:
a) clone from an HDD to an SSD,
b) upgrade to Windows 8 (made a huge difference going from Vista). Interface issue solved with Start8.
c) add more System Memory

it is the same socket both are S1 socket. I looked at the bios revision available through Gateway and I doesn't show any Processors support and i am not sure where to look. The Latest revision looks like 9A30B . The System is a MD2614u it is currently working with a Turion 64 rm72 ruffly 2.1 ghz. I want to upgrade to quad core and a 2.4 GHz
