    If I was you stone, I'd play it safe and go for a T9800 instead. You don't even know if your notebook can handle the extra power draw of the X9k, while the 9800 is sitting there at 2.93Ghz and it's only 35W.

    Since you can't even OC the X9100, why risk the damage?

    Me? I can't sell it, I won't have a CPU in my laptop lol...

    I would sell it and buy the T9600 but its still too expensive.

    T9400 = 25W *EDIT: 35W ty Andy
    X9100 = 44W

    That is way too much heat difference inside a laptop to risk it. I've decided not to get it. It's likely to fail within a few months.
