Will this cpu work?

I have a zv5000 ( not the same one as in my signature ) it has an amd athlon xp-m socket 754 its a 62 watt processer.

Right now i have an athlon xp-m 3000+ AHN3000BIX3AX

Upgrade to mobile athlon 64 2800+ AMD2800BQX4AX

Right now im concerned that because the cpu i want to upgrade to is 35 watt vs the old one is 62 watt. the main reason for upgrade is the 32 bit athlon is hotter running and slow and the cheapest athlon i can find is that one. anyways there both 130nm so it should work what do you guys think?

 

I don't think there are common chipsets/sockets for 32bits and 64bits cpus.

I don't know for laptops but for desktops, the XP 3000 and 64 2800 are similar for their performances.

 

I am not sure, but I would think that you could upgrade all of the way up to the 3700+ 2.4Ghz processor.
I have a 3200+ in my Mitac (voodoo M855) and it runs pretty warm and it has a big copper heatsink.
(I would test an athlon xp in there for you to test, but I dont think I have an athlon xp) _ I will go look.
I think the tdp of the athlon line is 65 watts throughout the 754 line, but I could be wrong on that.

I would post a wanted ad in the buy and sell section and see if you can get a cpu for cheap.
I would not be surprised if you can get a 3200+, for like $20 or so.

Good luck, I hope it works.
Ket us know if it does.

Other models of this laptop came with athlon 64's but they came with desktop versions. Also this cpu is faster by .2ghz twice as big of a l2 cache and its 64 bit. plus im using almost half the energy so less heat.

 

yes you can upgrade to a 3700+ right now it has an athlon xp in it not a 64 im going to upgrade to a athlon 64. Also i found one on ebay for $20 thats where i got the idea from but ebay gave me this $10 off shipping coupon and this guys charging $10 so Cha ching

 

Yeah, i also recommend you to upgrade it.

 

i bought it today ill keep posted on how it turns out later this week

 

good luck with that,,, i'm not up on the AMD cpus... but love to hear of anyone who has success in ipgrading thier CPU!!!

 

Well i got the cpu in today. i installed it into the laptop booted into bios it reads it just fine i was so happy. as i started to boot up the laptop i get the error message saying " warning this motherboard does not support 82 watt cpu's " this is a 35 watt cpu im going to try to update the bios but im unhappy because i can feel how cool the laptop is running yet it wont let me boot.

 

Well i installed it and when i try to boot up past the bios screen i get the error saying " warning 82 watt cpu's not supported by your motherboard " when its a 35 watt im going to try to update the bios but i doubt itll work now

 

sorry i didnt mean to post the same thought twice its just when i refreashed it wasent there so i thought it didnt finish uploading the first one so i made another one
