    Can I put a P7350 into the M1330?

    I think I can but the FSB will be downclocked to 800MHz? Just not certain.

    No.

    At the very least, I've had a friend try a P8400 in an M1330 just for kicks... and it flat out doesn't boot, latest BIOS and all. You can try it with the P7350, but I highly, highly doubt it will boot either.

    It has the PM965 express chipset, which only supports CPUs with an 800mhz fsb (and lower), the P7350 will not work (and the FSB will not downclock).

    Don't wait for the reply. you will be disappointed.
