    I was wanting to upgrade the processor in my Dell Studio 1737 to a Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T9400 2.533GHz 1066 6MB ES QAEL I currently have the Intel T6400. Will this work?

    I dont think it would work because ur motherboard on accepts 800mhz bus speeds. Try the t9500. Please correct me if iam wrong fellow nbr members.

    It may work - I have a Dell Studio 1737 and my processor from dell it a t9550 - which has a 1033mhz bus speed.

    You could, but the bus speed would probably clock itself down. So there would be no point in spending that much.

    False. The Studio 1737 has the Intel 45 chipset, which uses 1066MHz FSB processors. It's the old 1735 model that was limited by the 965 chipset/800MHz FSB.
    It will work just fine. Go for it, if you want to spend the money.
