    I realized I can't upgrade the refurbished G51VX-RX05 i just picked up to a quad-core, so I want to throw my Dell's 800mhz FSB T9500 socket-P core 2 duo into it instead.

    Will this work, even though the CPU is 800mhz fsb, and the mobo supports 1066fsb?

    My guess is yes, just want to verify before i start unscrewing things

    btw, quad-cores still don't work in the RX05 right? :(
