...to a core duo t2600...the 1 seen here... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819111177
(or any other processor better than mine...) help is much appreciated...

 

Any socket M should work. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=166906

Why not this? It's $150 cheaper and just as good, if not slightly better, along with 64bit capability.

 

Thanks much...but the link that you posted on newegg is a processor type with a different codename...my current t2080 is YONAH while the one you posted is MEROM...does it make any difference really?

 

You should check your laptop chipset using Everest Ultimate. If it is a 945 you wont have problems updating to a @667 fsb processor, up to a T7600. If it is a 943 (and often Pentium Dual Core came with this chipset) i have the doubt that you can go only with @533 fsb ones, as (if you want a Merom) the T5200 or T5300. If so, i am not sure it is worth updating (main advantage would be the 64 bit support).

 

my chipset....
Chipset
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Northbridge Intel i943/940GML rev. 03
Southbridge Intel 82801GHM (ICH7-M/U) rev. B0

 

I seriously think you can only update with another @533 fsb cpu, actually the best you could mount is the T5300 (Core 2 Duo 1,76 Ghz 64 bit support).
Obviously i would be glad to be wrong.

damn...i hope ur wrong...main reason i bought a 5570 z is to upgrade it...already got the memory and hd coming...just need a good processor with 64 bit support so i can work the 4 gigs...

 

That's the same chipset as my Acer Aspire 3680!

NorthBridge : Intel i943/940GML rev. 03
SouthBridge : 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller

So I could dump my Celeron M 430 CPU @ 1.73GHz for a dual core CPU?!?

 

Dang, if we can Im going to do it too!!

my 3680 has the 1.6ghz Celeron and Im geeked because i bought a 1.73ghz Celeron processor on ebay...lol..

Imagine how geeked I would be if I could get a duo-core
