    Does anyone happen to know what are some processors it supports?

    Toshiba Satellite A135-S4527

    I did some looking around and it has a T2080 right now and CPU-Z reads my mainboard chipset as "i943/940GML"

    Its been kinda confusing since some people throughout the forums (on search) have said i could upgrade to any pentium dual core while others say im stuck on celerons...

    Could i have some clarification please?

    If you have the 940 you will be stuck with Celerons and Core Solos. If you have the 943 you can use the Pentium Dual-Cores and possibly some Core Duo and Core 2 Duo. Since you already have the T2080, you definitely have the 943 and can probably go up to a T7600 if your BIOS supports it.

    Thanks

    so if i have the 943GML chipset I can probably go up to a T7600, maybe?

    Also is there a way I can check to see if my bios revision has support for certain processors?
