    Hi All,

    Im new to upgrading the CPU to my laptop. I know that it voids the warranty but the warranty has already expired.
    I currently have the T7200 @ 2.00GHz (4mb cache) (Merom) (65nm) installed from the factory. looking forward to upgrading to a faster CPU.
    Currently aiming at the following. Kindly explain if its compatible or not.

    T7700 @ 2.4GHz (4mb cache) (Merom) (65nm) or
    T9300 @ 2.5GHz (6mb cache) (45nm)

    Thank You.

    7700 Should be OK
    9300 No

    Oh and the CPU swap is easy on that machine, I have done it a couple of times....
