    Hi guys!
    I got M1710 with T2400 (1.86GHZ/667MHz)
    and right now I'm researching processor upgrade options...

    Since my FSB is 667MHz, I can use 667MHz CPU's only ?
    Is there anything better available for M1710 than T7600 (2.33GHz/667Mhz) ?

    There are very nice X7800 / X7900 800Mhz processors out there and I was curious if that could work with my laptop.

    I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

    No, the latest generation (800MHz FSB) won't work, as they use a different socket. I believe the T7600 is the fastest the socket can have
