Aspire 3050 CPU upgrade to Turion ZM-70

Hi,

I am planning upgrade Aspire 3050-1092 CPU from Sempron 3500+(1.8Ghz,512kb-L2, 25W) to
Turion RM-70(2.0Ghz,1MB-L2, 31W).

I do not see any problem in this upgrade but maybe i missed something?
Any suggestions?

 

You mean Turion RM-70?

As long as the BIOS supports it, it should work.

 

Thanks for correction, of course RM-70.
I just thought about zm-80 before.

How to know bios(ver.3315) support this cpu or not?

 

That's the tricky part- you don't know until you've tried it.
We has a case recently where a user bought z CPU and it didn't work although we were able to confirm that both older and newer CPUs from that line worked.
It turned out that this single CPU didn't- one model up or down the line and it was fine but that one was unsupported.

 

The socket doesn't match.
RM/ZM uses S1G2(S1 Generation 2) socket
99% of my gut feelings says it will not work.
You should try the older Turions.

I spoonfed you:
The CPU release is 2006 and it is based off the 90nm CPUs
So you should find the TL Series with 90nm design
Codename:
Taylor & Trinidad (90 nm SOI)

 

Good catch weinter- I missed that

You could use S1 CPU in S1G1 socket but not the other way around, so TL-60 seems to be the closest one that will work.
