can my system support th new 65nm turion x2s?

will my dell inspiron 1501 with an amd turion mk-36(socket s1 2.0 GHz 90nm) support the new turion x2 65nm proccesers as follows using socket s1:

* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56: 1.80GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core);
* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58: 1.90GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core);
* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60: 2.00GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core);
* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-64: 2.20GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core);
* AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-66: 2.30GHz clock-speed, 1MB L2 cache (512KB per core).

 

What is the latest BIOS date available from Dell for that unit? I do not see a problem insofar as voltages between the 90nm & 65nm. I would be concerned about heat however. What is your average cpu temp with the MK-36?

 

low memory module gets warm but thats it

 

I was asking about cpu temp, to try and determine if your current heatsink is adequate for a Turion64 X2.............

 

The X2's do not generate an extravagant amount of extra heat. Extra heat yes, but I don't believe this will inhibit his ability as much as the compatibility.

 

Just wanted to make sure, as my Tyler-core X2 can go anywhere from 51C to 68C quite easily. I'm not aware of the single-core MK-36's temp range, and I'm unsure if Dell uses different heatsinks between them..........

 

Heatwise you'll should be fine up to 2ghz, it's the higher speeds that are iffy. I remember the 130nm-90nm transition often requiring a bios update. Dunno if this is the case now, S1's only been out for about a year so they may have thought of these things to begin with.

 

thanks and were would i find the bois updates as on the dell site it only shows them for the mk-36
