Dell Vostro 1500 Processor upgrade.

Here are the results from my Vostro 1510 with T5870 processor (specs in sig).
(CPU test only)
CPUIDMark Mips x86-32 integer: 22580.40 marks
CPUIDMark Mflops Single precision x86-32 float: 24734.90
CPUIDMark Mflops Double precision x86-32 float: 12984.35
CPUIDMark Mandelbrot Parallelized x86-32: 20170.24
CPUIDMark Processor: 20117

 

Wow there're is not that much of a difference between the two, except mine using 1.00-1.25 Volts and yours using 1.0375-1.3 Volts.

 

Hi,
some data from my system (Vostro 1500, T7250 (2x2GHz, 2 GB RAM):

Code:

CPUIDMark Mips (x86-32 Integer) :	22338.60 Marks
CPUIDMark MFlops Single Precision (x86-32 Float) :	24725.60 Marks
CPUIDMark MFlops Double Precision (x86-32 Float) :	12362.80 Marks
 :	
CPUIDMark Mandelbrot Parallelized (x86-32) :	19371.59 Marks
CPUIDMark Processor : :	    19700 :

Does anyone know what all this means? Is it the higher the CPUIDMark the better or the lower the Mark the better?

 

Higher is better/faster...

"PROCESSOR : These benchmarks measure performance in terms of Integer Millions of Instructions Per Second (Integer MIPS) and Millions of Floating Point Operations Per Second (MFLOPS). The code behind these benchmarks method is written in Assembly (x86, x87, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, 3DNOW!). Processor benchmarks are HyperThreading, multi-processor (SMP) and multi-core (CMP) aware. "

Gentlemen,
I have an question on all of this also!

I am looking to upgrade the processor on my Dell Vostro 1500 Notebook also.

I had one question -- Of all the other processors higher than my current ( Intel Core 2 Duo T5270 ) processor how do I know which one will fit in the computer?

In other words is knowing that the processor is for Socket P the ONE and ONLY thing I need to know?

What about voltage...
I see some higher and faster Tprocessors running at higher 45W instead of 35w like my t5270.

With all those variables in line --- it looks like the T9900 with 35W/Socket P config is the fastest processor that can fit on the Vostro 1500.

Am I wrong here ? Do I have to stay in the T9XXX family of processors for there to be no issues?

I know a guy ~named Mike T. ~ upgrades his 1500 to a T9300..

Help a newb out.
Thanks!

 

The T9900 does not work because it has a 1066Mhz FSB bus speed and will not support it.

The Vostro 1500 has a GM965 chipset, with your configuration coupled with an 8400M GS and an 8600M GT configurations. The earlier configurations of the Vostro 1500 included the Pentium and Merom T7xx series.

It will also support up to the first generation 800Mhz Penryn processors; T8100, T8300, T9300, T9500 and the X9000. There users are with the X9000 and it managed to run well and cool in the Vostro 1500 and achieving a mild overclock to 3.2GHz using ThrottleStop in the 1500 under 65*C; known for its excellent cooling system.

I recommend the 35W 2.5GHz 800Mhz FSB 6mb L2 Cache T9300 processor overall - it's already a good upgrade from your current, doesn't cost as much thus provides a good price : performance ratio. You can check those on eBay.
