    I would like to know which is the best processor available for the M1210?
    I currently have a T7200 installed in mine, but was wondering which is the best that it supports?

    Will the M1210 be compatible with any quad processors? Sorry for the noob question.

    Thanks in advance ...

    The m1210 has a motherboard that supports Socket M processors which is the 533mhz and 667mhz FSB processors from Intel, also known as the Core Duo(Merom) and Core 2 Duo(Yonah) chipsets.

    The current and future processors are Socket P(or R for future ones?) which are the Santa Rosa Core 2 Duos with the 800mhz FSB.

    So no, you're stuck with that chipset.
