    Will this processor work on my HP laptop?

    This is my laptop:

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...=c01062310&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

    here is the cpu I was thinking of:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-Core-2-Du...5|66:2|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50#payId

    I thought it would till I read this post in another thread about the same upgrade someone wanted to do in an ACER:

    ---However, I've come across some facts that seem to be problems: the two vary in die size; the T5250 is 111mm^2 while the T7700 is 143mm^2. The 7700 is from the Merom family while the 5250 is from the Merom 2-M family.---


    thanks everyone :)

    Yep, it should work. The HP Dv95XXs will work with the T7700. The T8300 will give better performance, albeit at a higher price as well. The T8100 should be almost comparable, as the Penryns are a bit faster than the Meroms of the same clock speed.

    T8300 will work, the P8600 won't.

    thank you for your help and time :) it is really appreciated.

    Could you by any chance explain to me in short what the difference is in 45 to 65 nm?

    Is this something that needs to match up:
    Mine:
    Micro-FCPGA

    The one above:
    Micro-FCBGA

    from what i understand that makes it uncompatible, the one I buy must also be FCPGA. Is that correct?

    This might help.

    The T9300 will work just fine. I would suggest scanning past sales on Ebay. In addition to that, the T9300 won't provide all that much performance over the T8300. It might very well be more cost-effective to get the T8300 or even T8100. Any of these chips would show a substantial performance gain over your original chip.

    As for this bit, I'm not particularly sure myself. The chips are produced in both Micro-FCPGA and Micro-FCBGA form. http://processorfinder.intel.com/Li...48,826,942,58,3008,&ProcFam=0&SearchKey=t9300

    I know the SLAYY will work, as I had it installed in my Gateway FX. I would look for the chips that have the same package just to be certain.

    Yes, you need PGA. BGA's are typically used in embedded(soldered) systems not socketed ones.
