    Can You run program called CPU-Z and tell us what kind of chipset is used in your laptop?(third tab-mainboard).

    Extensa 5630G and TravelMate 5730 are the same laptop and share the same service guide. According to this guide these are the CPUs that work with these unit:

    CPU INTEL CORE2DUAL P8400 PGA 2.26G 3M 1066 25W (KC.84001.DPP)
    CPU INTEL CORE2DUAL P8600 PGA 2.4G 1066 25W 3M (KC.86001.DPP)
    CPU INTEL CORE2DUAL P9500 PGA 2.53G 6M 1066 25W (KC.95001.DPP)
    CPU INTEL CORE2DUAL T9400 PGA 2.53G 6M 1066 35W (KC.94001.DTP)
    CPU INTEL CORE2DUAL T9600 PGA 2.8G 6M 1066 35W (KC.96001.DTP)

    NOTE: "CORE2DUAL" is a quote- really.
    Apparently there are more than that as your T6400 proves.

    unfortunately I am limited to the models listed in the first post, because they are from a guy that wants to sell in my town. I do not want to buy from ebay because they are always retained at Customs House. was thinking of the T7700, this would work? I think it's pretty fast ...

    Sorry for my English
