    Hey, I've been looking around but still not entirely sure of what processors are compatible with my laptop, currently its got the T2390 @ 1.8Ghz, I'm jsut wondering what chips are compatible with the Dell Studio (1535)'s motherboard.

    Any help will be appreciated, i've been looking around for a while on my laptop and can't find much.

    Depends on your chipset. Earlier variants of the Studio 15 shipped with 965 chipsets while later variants shipped with 45 chipsets. If you have a 965 chipset, you can use any of the usual Socket P processors with an 800MHz FSB of less. If you have a 45 chipset, you can use basically any Socket P processor.

    Early and late models of the Studio 15 describe the 1535 and the 1537 models, respectively. You said 1535, so you should have the 965 chipset.

    Yeah, I'm about 90% sure this is the case as well, but you may want to double check with a hardware identification program like CPUZ or PCWizard.
