    Нello.I can upgrade the intel celeron t3000 chipset gl40?
    Processor Soldered to the motherboard? :(
    Building micro-FCBGA consists of a crystal, located face down on an organic substrate, perpetuate filled epoxy material, and several capacitors, which are absent in micro-PGA. Since it connects to a motherboard 479 contacts are soldered to appropriate sites, so it is virtually impossible to upgrade.Sorry for bad English
    Really so bad?

    Yeah, what laptop do you have? Most laptops with standard TDP Celerons shouldn't be thin/styled enough to necessitate a BGA processor.

    It is socket P so you may be able to swap the gpu. I'm not sure what other cpus the GL40 chipset can take, if I am honest!

    Officially GL40 is only supposed to take Celerons, and possibly Pentium Dual-Cores, but there have been people who have succeeded in running C2Ds of varying FSB speeds with their GL40s. Anything above a Celeron or Pentium Dual-Core is nonetheless going to be a crapshot to some degree.

    Why do you want to upgrade the CPU?

    CPUs to look for are the Pentium Dual-Core T3400/T4300.

    I know the examples when the T8100 was put on GL40, everything works fine

    Glad it worked for you!

    The GL40 technically supports any processor with a 800mhz FSB, so if you're going Core 2 (as I see you already have...), you can go to T9500 I believe... and that should work granted you've updated your bios. Both have a TDP of 35 watts and I'd wager that the more powerful T9500 will most likely give you better battery life.

    All thanks for the help T8100 successfully stood up and plows on GL40, only here at Everest wrote that overclock up 9% percent. I do not overclock :confused:
