    There's nothing wrong with putting the x9000 into the new 7811FX. All you're doing is making your system drag due to the lower FSB; 800 mhz. But, some people can't afford the extra $100 to get the x9100 to utilize the 1066 mhz FSB, higher clocks, and DDR3 RAM :p It's kinda like taking a Ferarri Enzo and running regular unleaded gas, from Uncle Tom's gas can that's been sitting in the tool shed all winter. Some things just don't make sense.

    What are you crazy! You can not (let me say it again) CAN NOT put an x9000 in the 7811FX. The chipset is COMPLETELY incompatible. Its not a matter of down clocking the system or anything like that. It simple wont work.

    As to your metaphor...it would be like putting diesel fuel into a 747. It simply WONT WORK.

    I really don't know how clearer i can make this. YOU CAN NOT PUT THE X9000 INTO THE 7811.

    If you don't listen at this point then I'm sorry, but your just going to waste your money and be left with a CPU that doesn't work on your rig. I have said it doesn't work about 4 times now and i refuse to do it again. I really hope you listen this time.

    And E-Wrecked... please find out the correct information on a subject before you start posting like you know something. What you posted is blatantly wrong and you should honestly be ashamed. :mad:

    Some people just don't know how to spend money wisely. Why do people bother upgrading this laptop's processor to X9100 when they can buy the superior Sager 5796?

    The 7811 FX is a budget gaming notebook. Spending more money to upgrade it just goes against the whole purpose of buying this notebook in the first place...

    my laptop was $1500 with my X7800 price included. I think that is budget. Let people decide what they want to do with THEIR money.

    And i guarentee you could buy this laptop and an X9100 and almost still be equivalent to the Sager in terms of power, and spend less.

    I don't know about that narsnail.

    Assuming you don't get it on sale, the new FX will cost almost 1,600. More importantly, the X9100 isn't available on Ebay or at least not as commonly as the X9000. And it retails for around $900-1050.

    That totals up to $2,500. You can definitely get a very decently spec'd out 5796 for $2,500.

    Just spec'd a 9800M GT, 4GB RAM, WUXGA, 200 7200, Vista Home Premium, T9600 for less than $2,500 including cash discount. The T9600 wouldn't see very much performance drop from the X9100 and I'm willing to bet that the 9800M GT has a more than decent chance to make up the difference between the two processors.

    If you do get the FX on sale, and manage to pick up a X9100 cheap off ebay, the FX line is cheaper by a substantial bit, but the latter will be tough to do for a while.

    the prices will drop, you need to find deals, how do you think i got a retail X7800 for $300, cause its old. This is new tech, it will be expensive for a while, even in the budget sector.

    Just sayin that for nearly the same price you can get something a bit more compact (15.4" instead of 17") and a 9800gt!!!

    Can someone explain one more time why the x9000 is not compatible with the 7811? Isn't the chipset compatible? What else affects the compatibility. And can someone confirm one more time that the x9100 IS compatible? Thanks for your help, sorry to beat the dead horse, just trying to understand all this better.

    Are you serious?

    If you are. FINE. I will.

    The chipset is NOT compatible.

    X9000/6860FX = Santa Rosa

    X9100/7811FX = Montevina

    These chipsets are NOT compatible with each other, regardless of the fact that there exists socket P processors for both chipsets.

    If this isn't clear enough, please do me a huge favor and not ask any more questions.
    Thanks

    No, I wasn't serious, couldn't you sense the online sarcasm all over that? LOL wow, I'm very very sorry that I FORCED you to type a whole 20 words while sitting in your computer chair. Yes, it's clear, but you don't have to be rude about it. People have agreed and disagreed across this thread, so I'm sorry if I was looking for a final conclusion. OMG someone asked a question that was answered already somewhere else!????!!! Welcome to any online forum my friend.

    If you find questions like this hysterical, you've been sitting at your comp way too long. Go outside. You know what? You may even meet a real person, may even make a friend. Then you can laugh about something that normal people find funny. Tip: if you want to see someone put an incompatible chip in their comp, don't say "I hope he puts this incompatible chip in that comp" right under where he just asked if it's compatible. I don't think anyone's going to fall for that, good try tho "joker."

    To answer your first, I wasn't sure if you were actually being sarcastic. And if you've read the rest of this thread in close detail, you'll notice that it can be rather hard to drive a point home.

    To be honest, I figured you were just being a wiseass at first, but decided to lend you a hand just in case you were genuine.

    The only person who's said that the X9000 works with the 7811FX was E-Wrecked, and I'm sure you noticed how many people jumped on him about that.

    It would be hysterical/hilarious as the individual would have bought the X9000 for his 7811FX would them come here moaning about the incompatibility after having been told in, no uncertain terms of the incompatibility. Basically, we would find it hilarious as the individual deserved whatever was coming.

    @narsnail, I'm cranky because ... you can read the rest of the thread. :p

    I'm just wondering when you'll stop editing that post.

    oh lol, I was depressed because I'm officially back to a 9 year old celeron 650mhz laptop but this thread made me lol so I cheered up.

    So can someone explain me if I can put a X9000 in my laptop? I have a Coppermine with a socket 495 (I believe, cpuz fails me), but since I have the money there should be no problems.

    LOL....

    anyway, now that I've finished editing that post (that I edited A WHOLE 1 TIMES!!!) Maybe you can actually address it instead of the first one. Or you can stop using your E-fists simply because you're cranky... lol.

    And I was also asking WHY it's not compatible, incase you read my original ques too fast. I know its montevina vs santa rosa, but that doesn't answer my ques

    The Montevina vs Santa Rosa IS the reason they are incompatible. The chipsets do not work together and beyond even that... they wont fit.


    yeah that would totally work..and be really sweet :p
    And for those that dont get it the above is totally a joke and not to be taken seriously

    Actually in your original question, you wrote.
    I'm pretty sure I answered your question. It's not compatible because the chipsets are incompatible in the first place. You were making the erroneous assumption that they were compatible.

    It looks exactly like the 6831/172/173/6860/etc FX computers. There will be no difference in the case

    So with out looking at the computer specs you can basically claim you have any of them and no one will know any better :p
