    Hi, I'm looking to get the following barebones laptop, MSI-1651 ID2:

    http://www.xoticpc.com/msi1651-barebone-laptop-p-2478.html?wconfigure=yes

    it uses a PM45 chipset, and I'd like to throw my T9500 (socket P, 478) into it, but i'm not 100% sure it's possible.

    Intel's pm45 validated cpu list doesn't show the T9500 (800 fsb) but shows the T9600 (1066 fsb), but i read in another thread that the PM45 should support the T9500, depending on bios

    i just want a second opinion, thanks

    The chipset supports it; it's up to your BIOS now.

    Intel has a very nice chipset/cpu compatibility chart.

    However, in a finished machine, support completely depends on the BIOS.

    It's easy for the hardware makers to lock out components (upgrades, etc) they do not want you to have.
