    How could it be only the chipset? what processor does the Santa Rosa mean?

    How can I know the FSB and L2 cache of my notebook?

    Santa Rosa is the 4th generation Intel Centrino platform that includes a CPU, chipset, wireless and graphics solution (can have discrete). The T9300 is a part of the "Santa Rosa" refresh.

    Currently all socket P mobile CPU's are "Santa Rosa", the T9300 is a Penryn CPU. If you need more info you simply look it up as my answer does not in anyway include all.

    Run CPU-Z, it will tell you all you ask.

    T9300 is a "Penryn" processor that will work with the Santa Rosa Refresh platform, meaning that the socket is P and the chipset supports it. The L2 cache is 6 MiB.
