    Hi, ive got a Gateway P-6831fx in its default config i.e with a t5450 core 2 duo. i want to upgrade its CPU but i cant seem to find a place with a good selection of CPUs. all the other guys with gateway 6831fx swapped their t5450s with t9300 but all i can find onlne are t7700-7250. So my question is where do u get these procs from? also since ihave a 965 motherboard i cant get the newer 1066Mhz FSB cpus i.e t9400-9600. cud someone please help me out?

    Welcome to nbr,
    run a google shopping search of the model processor.
    type intel t9300 into google shopping and it will tell you where you can buy them. Your system can only run processors with a 533Mhz, 667Mhz or 800Mhz FSB. Do not buy a Monteveina processor, because it will not work in your laptop.
