D520 CPU Upgrade question.

Hello all, and Happy Thanksgiving.

I would like to upgrade my CPU. I have the base Celeron M 430 @ 1.73 GHz. What other CPU's would just drop right in?

I guess i have the 945GM Family.. (Can accept 4GB Ram)

Also if you have one, for sale that will fit, send me a PM.. Will post a WTB thread once i know what i wtb. lol. I am looking to upgrade to one of the available Intel Core Duo chips..

Would the T2300E @ 1.66GHz or T2400 @ 1.83GHz CPU drop right in to this current system?

If this is correct, then any T2300E @ 1.66GHz or T2400 @ 1.83GHz CPU would work, and compputer brand does not matter, all i am looking for is,
T2300E @ 1.66GHz or T2400 @ 1.83GHz CPU. Correct?
Thanks!!

 

Check the Intel Mobile Processor Compatibility Guide posted by Commander Wolf: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=209284

Specifically, the "Socket M" section of the post lists the CPUs that can be dropped in.

 

So any one from this list will just "'drop in" with out any errors, or anything, just "plug and play" haha.

Socket M supports Core Solo, Core Duo, some Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual-Core and associated Celerons based on Yonah and Merom cores. These chips were produced from 2006 to the present.

THanks.

 

Assuming you've got the latest BIOS and all, yes, everything on that list should be plug and play and "just work".

 

So thanks for the reply,

Core Duo T2250 1733 2048 533
Core Duo T2350 1866 2048 533

Will these be an improvement in performance over my Celeron M 1.73GHz?

If these will work, and be worth the upgrade, I will then post a WTB thread.

Thanks.

 

Considering how cheap something like the T2250 or T2350 is, I think it's definitely worthwhile.

 

Hi there...
I got a 520D and tried to replace the T1300 built in with a T2400.
No GO !
Bios is A08(latest).
I guess i draw a blank here as i ampretty sure the CPU is okay...
Can you help me to identify the possible CPU upgrades ?
Where can i see or find the chipset info ?

Thanks for help !
