Hi Slick2160.

Sorry no chance. It will not work in your FS415B.

The Core processor will actually physically fit into your Socket 479 but Intel have juggled the pinouts to make Pentium M motherboards incompatible with Core/Core 2 processors. The new Socket is called Socket M.

The reason for the juggling is that your 915 chipset does not support Core processors - you need the i945 chipset.
