Hi guys,
I'm considering doing a CPU upgrade for this Fujitsu Siemens laptop, but I'm not sure if he suports Core2Duo, and in case yes, which one...
I already checked the Fujitsu Siemens and the Sis (his chipset) sites, but they are not clear as this concern.
Anyone that have one and already do a CPU upgrade (or not)?
Thanks in advance.

what's the current processor model?

Forgot to mention...
Intel Pentium T2330
socket P (478)
65nm
533Mhz
1.250v -
then you can max out to T9500.
T9300 would be a good choice in regards of price-performance
edit: you may want to check the fsb supported by the sis chipset -
I made some research, and here I can see (more at the bottom) some laptops with SIS M672 + SIS 968 chipset and with a Core2Duo 800MHz FSB... so can I presume that the Esprimo v5535 will support them too!? Or can depend on other things too?
EDIT: Well...I found this now from SIS, it seems that actually they do have support for 800MHz CPU's max, so the question remains, can I upgrade it without any issues?

I recommend you to update the BIOS to latest version first before changing the processor. -
can you get back to me about you upgrade mate ? im looking to upgrade mines to a core 2 duo so just wondering how you got on with it ?

Tsunade_Hime such bacon. wow
Yes your laptop can take any 800 FSB Core 2 Duo chip.
Best bets are T7500, T8300/T8100 for under 120. 20 bucks more gets you T9300 -
Just to clear information about Sis chipset capabilities, it can work with 1066Mhz cpu. Asus offer few models with this chipset and optional 1066mhz cpu. Actually I put in this fujitsu P7350 and it worked, but there were some issues with it. It freeze every few hours and I have to shut it off. I suspect that probably beacause of crappy northbridge cooling not sufficient for 1066mhz operation. Now it is working T3200 in it without problems.

Yeah I know but it's not my laptop. And my brother it's not interested in that kind of stuff. But I will do this one day anyway without telling him
just because I like do that "things". It's good idea on this chipset because it lacking performance in memory department - single memory, high latency. Rising fsb will lower latency and ram operating with 800mhz instead 667mhz will decrese memory read, write, copy.
Esprimo v5535 CPU upgrade
