    Everyone wants a T9300 for their M1330. What about T9400 CPU's? Does the 1066 MHz FSB make it a redundant chip? Nobody is clamouring to buy T9400 CPU's.

    The architecture of the M1330 only supports 800Mhz FSB.

    I have tried, as I have a spare 9400, and it doesn't work. It doesn't post with the 9400 installed and shuts down after 3 seconds. I was hoping it would downclock the FSB. 9300 works great, BTW.
