emachines D620: CPU Upgrade

Hi there--I know there are other threads on this forum discussing CPU upgrades on this laptop.
I have been following some of them, and came across this suggestion:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050e Brisbane Energy Effcient Dual Core Processor 2.6Ghz Socket AM2 1MB Cache 45W Retail available here

What I want to know is if this is the right product for my laptop, before I buy.

Here are the CPU specs on my emachines D620 (I bought this in Oct 2009 from our local store in South Africa) according to CPU-Z output:

I was going to try this myself last year but gave up because the chip was difficult to source. I suggest reading through the other thread that you posted in for what worked and what didn't ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/emachines/336445-emachine-emd620-5777-upgrades-so-far.html). Several people there reported that the 5050e worked fine in their D620s but as I recall there were a couple of issues: one post mentioned the BIOS does not correctly identify the chip and the poster was not sure if this would cause the chip to be overvolted, and the chip also runs up to over 70C under load. Undervolting is discussed there too, which would help with both issues.

 

Hello. Better Processor for Emachines D620 is Amd Neo 6850e. Amd Neo X2 processor at 1.8 Ghz . Am2. Works fine, with fine temps and complete full in Emachines D620.

I had installed one on my Emachines D620.

Read this and look tests pics:

I compared several ones and I think this one would fit my needs. Now I just don't know if it's compatible to my notebook and I an wondering how I can find out.
