    Hi,
    currently have an m1330 and wanted to put a t9600 in,
    im wondering first of all, is it compatible, as the fsb is 1066?
    and secondly, would i be able to use the existing heatsink and fan (albeit with a clean up and new thermal paste)

    Thanks in advance

    Dave

    Sorry, a Montevina processor will not be compatible with your notebook. The T9500 is the highest you can go.

    but can i drop the 9500 straight in apart from the inevitable tidy up? or do i need to buy it with the heatsink and fan?

    Thanks

    You can re-use your current heatsink and fan, however, you will need to replace the thermal compound.

    thats what i thought,
    thanks
    may as well tidy up the gpu while i've got everything open.
    should finally be able to hammer the laptop without a cooling deck (i've got a t7500 at the mo)
