New conroe processors - will they work in a C90s?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115030

This is a Conroe C2D chip, same style as the ones that I could've gotten for my C90s except for one major difference - this chip is 2.33ghz with 1.33ghz fsb and it is cheaper than the 2.13ghz, 1.066ghz fsb chip in my C90s right now. If I were to order this chip and install it, would it be 100% compatible with my C90s AND work with turbogear? I might actually consider looking for it on sale at a site somewhere if it is because that's a really nice performance upgrade for very little money.

I know I've been making a few noob posts here on this site but this is my first notebook and the first computer than I have purchased 100% by myself and plan on continuing to do so so I'm kind of nervous about damages or bad purchases : /

 

No it wont work.

 

i agree, it won't work. for that cpu you need a p35 (bearlake) chipset like the hopefully soon upcoming asus c90p notebook will have.

 

seriously..what ever happened to the C91?

 

all the c90/c80 models seem to have vanished, my guess is they wanna see how the C90S fairs and get all the bugs worked out.

 

So then the 2.93ghz extreme chip ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115001) is the "best" processor that will work in a C90s forever? Or has asus talked about any kind of bios updates that will allow for another processor? Or is it hardware limitations that prevent the use of these other chips?

 

Penryn is possible on a 945 chipset. We will just have to see.

 

yeah it's possible with a downgrade on the bus.

if they did 800-1333 conroes, they surely can dowgrade a penryn from 1333(?) to 1066.

The E4500 is also not that bad for th price (compared to 1066 conroes)

 

JCMS, what kind of 3Dmark06 score your get with the e4500?

 

Between 1750 and 2000, same score as the T7500

2M Super PI was 1:02

 

Wait a minute - so will the board automatically reduce the fsb speed to 1.066 ghz? Cause if so then what reason is there that the chip won't work? Cause so far best I can figure is that the FSB is too fast for the board which causes bad things to happen but if the board (BIOS?) can detect this and reduce it to acceptable speeds then why won't these other conroe processors work?

 

it probably would not even post because it wouldn't even recognize the chip being there

 

It would eather not post, post but have serious issues.

And if it did run perfectly it would only run at 1066fsb so the speed of the cpu would be like 1.xghz
