Upgrade cpu t2310 to penryn?

Hi,

Can I upgrade a
Pentium Dual Core
T2310
1466 MHz
1024 KiB
Socket P

to a Penryn? If not, whats the highest possible ?

Currently looking at Acer Extensa EX4620

Thanks

 

Looked at the user specs and I was surprised to see it can handle a T7700. So any chance for penryn guys?

 

As long as the bios allows it, then yes.

 

thanks bud

 

I dont know what you are talking about, The T2310 uses a 533MHz bus, while the majority of Socket P processors like the T7700 utilize a 800Mhz bus.
The processors may share the same socket, but I am 90% sure that your chipset is not going to support a Santa Rosa based socket P processor. Most chipsets cannot support a wide range of fsb frequencies, such as 533 through 800Mhz.

Run CPU-Z, and tell us what chipset your system uses, and then we can tell you what you can upgrade to.

Also tell us what system this is, so we can verify that the chipset readings from cpu-Z are accurate.

Yeah same question here with T2370.
Acer Aspire 5715Z

Chipset:GM965 (CPU-Z)

Everest Ultimate:

North Bridge: Intel Crestline-GML GL960
Supported FSB Speeds FSB533, FSB667, FSB800 <--is this correct?
Supported Memory Types DDR2-533 SDRAM, DDR2-667 SDRAM
Maximum Memory Amount 2 GB

South Bridge: Intel 82801HBM ICH8-DO

InsydeH2O BIOS v1.27 01/05/2008

 

Let me clarify the issue here. There are t2310s which are either socket M or Socket P. Socket P is part of Santa Rosa platform. You should check the exact socket of your cpu. Penryn (45nm processor with 800 MT/s FSB and SSE4.1) will definitely be compatible with Santa Rosa and Socket P in particular.
So the answer to you question is:
Is your CPU socket P ? Yes - > you can run Penryn (the T9400 & T9600 versions, clocked at 2.5ghz and 2.8 ghz respectively, or the X9100 @ 3ghz; other versions may be based on a different socket - socket B to be released in May which I think will be incompatible with socket P)
No -> you cannot, sorry mate

Atthegates, I think that GM965 as well as Intel Mobile 965 Express chipset (Crestline) are both capable of running Penryn (the socket P versions). They are part of the Santa Rosa platform.

My 2 cents

 

I have the same question. Here are my laptops CPU-Z specs. Can someone let me know what the maximum CPU I can put in my laptop is?

Gateway CX-2755 CPU-Z Info

 

You have a Intel GM965 chipset, which supports socket P processors.

Penryn T9500 as the very best. The T8300 for best value for power

or a X9000 if you wanna go to extremes

Just make sure your BIOS supports these processors first

 

And is there a way to make sure my BIOS will support it, aside from calling Gateway, who will tell me nothing? Or can I flash my BIOS with a version that will allow support of one or all of these processors?

 

hey srry for kinda bumping but i have a Intel PM965 Chipset and Socket P with a intel pentium dual cpu t2310 Meron atm and i just got this laptop so i wanna upgrade to a better CPU.

been looking at this INTEL CORE 2 DUO MOBILE T7700 CPU but seems abit pricy... So wondering what peoples Suggestion at getting a better CPU looking about 2.0 Ghz Dual (not bothered about 64 bit cpu unless it makes it fater..)

and what about heat stuff? cause its kinda at 40-50 as it is. Thanks

found

Intel® Core™2 Duo Mobile Processor T7200.

Found Intel Duo T2500 CPU 2.0 Ghz

 

correction.... IF you are able to run a socket P penryn, then the processors you want to look at are the T8100, T8300, T9300, T9500, or the X9000

the other penryns are supported on the montevina platform, which is an entirely different chipset than the GM965

 

@Aceadam: The T7200 and the T2500 are Socket M CPUs for the i945 family. The T2310 is a Socket P CPU, so you should be looking at only Socket P CPUs. Check out this CPU Compatibility Guide (Look for CPUs under Socket P), it should clear your doubts.
Almost all Socket Ps have the same TDP, with the exception of the XE and Celeron M CPUs. So you will not face any heat-related issues, rather lower temps with the Penryns.

 

Wow thanks im gonna get Core 2 Duo T7300 i think but will i see the differance in performace? like i sed i have 1.46 553 FSB so i think i would

 

Yes, you will see an increase in performance. The increased FSB will help the CPU communicate with the Northbridge components quicker. DDR2-667 RAM will now actually function at 667MHz . You will see quite a boost in CPU-intensive tasks, alongwith an fps increase in most games. Temps should be the same, though you can apply Arctic Silver 5, and clean up the heat-sink.

I would advise you to go for the T8100/T8300, if you can confirm that your BIOS supports Penryn CPUs.

T2310 - Socket P Pentium Dual Core, should be a GL960 chipset (you can verify through Everest Pro or looking up the code printed on the chipset)....Check out this link. [These guys upgraded to Penryns on the GL960, but their BIOSs offered Penryn Support]

 

but thats on acer im on Dell Vostro 1500 =/ and i got IntelPM965 Chipset

 

Uwoh.. I kinda lost track.

The A05 and A03 BIOS revisions, both mention Added Support for New CPUs, but A06 mentions nothing about CPU. So, best you call up Dell, and enquire whether any of the previous BIOS revisions provide support for Penryns. And found this....

 

hmm inpressive but how did he overclock the card?? cus im using 8400m GS with the lastes drivers from laptop2go and i cant overclock well in ntune as it putds it right back to normal clocks and im not sure if rivatuner is working right cus i chnage them and go back to change and puts it right back to default clock

Anyway thanks for helping and the replying! N1


ok right i overclocked in rivatunner and saved it, then i opened ATI tool and walla it sed 554 core which i overcloked it in riva! but when i use riva for monitoring onlu shows core at 100 lol but shader at 1118 which thats the shader is clocked to and mem at 500 so hmm i wonder what i can overclock this at lol gonna try 640 as someone sed and it started messing up after.

P.S srry for bad grammer first time on laptop well like 3rd time but ya and im not good at english lol srry.

seen T9300 for £200 delivered! thats a freaking lot... i want only like 2Ghz dual 667 FSB lol

did a test on 3dmark 03 and got 6193 points with 500/1000/482 and wiith 600/1200/482 6538! almost 400 points ! and i looked at bottom of lappy and saw a M and a screw so... i unscrewed it and saw the ram! cool i took it out and it says 1GB.... but how come it says 2GB in windows?? (PC2-5300 btw) and i see a C on so im guessing thats the CPU? ill take that one off tomoz lol

ok i opened that C part and had the WLAN card =/ lol must mean Compnents and has 2 other slots there as well

i updated bios to A06 was so easy lol
