    most certainly not. the fastest CPU available for the m1710's motherboard is the T7600, clocked at 2.33ghz. this chip can however be overclocked substantially.

    He just told you that the T7600 was the best chip.
    It's because the highest FSB the chipset will accept is 677mhz.

    You can try T7600G, which can be marginally overclocked on M1710.
