Any compatibility issues with this upgrade?

Hey guys, I'm new here. I have been mostly in the desktop world, but just purchased this laptop. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115681

I soon realized that the 1066 RAM was only running at 800MHz because of the FSB being 800. So, my question is this. Would there be any compatibility issues if I were to upgrade to the p8800 CPU? This is what I was looking at. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819111014&Tpk=p8800

Thanks guys.

 

Quite weird but i think its because your processor has a 800MHz FSB... there should be no problems... repeat no problems upgrading to P8800 but i would try to get a T9400/9600/9800/9900 or P9500/9600/9700 to see any benefits...with these processors your RAM will run at 1066MHz..

 

Thanks, what about the T9550? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819111012

 

Since you have a PM45 chipset, you can use any of the typical 35W Socket P processors, including the P8800 and T9550. Quads and Extremes may not work. That being said, it's weird that your memory's not running at full speed; I'd have thought that the laptop would be smart enough to do so regardless of the processor's bus speed...

Not that you'd notice a difference between 800MHz and 1066MHz memory with everything else held constant.

 

Go ahead with the T9550..however if you can find a T9600 on best buy or someother store try getting that..if you can , A P9500/9600 would also be a good choice.
