    Is it safe to drop a T9600 CPU in my G1S-X1?

    no. Its a Montevina chip, uses montevina chipset

    uses different chipset/ but same socket. Nothing will allow you to run higher than a penryn chip.

    look into the t9300.

    Id suggest that you gently place rather than drop.

    don't get the c2d ex, your laptop is hot enough.
    just have your service manual with you, and do everything gently, it's not hard.
