    Hi!

    I have a question... I want to upgrade my T9300... I found a X9000, but...

    The Q9100 or QX9300 works on it? Or it's different socket (or the BIOS doesn't support it)?

    Thx for all!

    ByE!

    Same socket, different chipsets. It will not work because the M1730 uses a P965M chipset with a max FSB of 800MHz, while the Q9100 and QX9300 have 1066MHz FSBs.

    X9000 is your best bet.

    Quads won`t work.
    As Hep said, the X9000 is the best choice here.

    X9100 also has a 1066MHz FSB and requires a PM45 chipset.
