Hello guys. new to the forumand i was looking to upgrade my cpu on the laptop. I am currently running T7500 2.2GHz core 2 duo and i think its running a bit slow so i wanted to upgeade it. Am i able to add any of the T/P series Intel Core 2 Duo Processors on this laptop? ok i found out by doing some reasearch that my MB is Quanta model 30CB 79.26 Chipset PM965 Rev. C0 is any one in laptop world familiar with this? i'm going nuts over here for 2 hours trying to find out what cpu's this dumb motherboard supports. someone? any1 can help me out here? btw i tried calling HP and its just retarded. they want me to buy a new plan or some waranty crap thing so they can help me out with phone support since my warranty is expired. they won't even answer any of my question until i pay them..... i want to know if i am able to add ANY 65nm and some 45nm, and to see if this laptop will take the quad core mobile processor Q9000 with its 45nm and its Bus Speed of 1066Mhz. i would love to buy a Q9000 2.0Ghz and put it in place of the T7500. that would be some AWESOME improvement over the current cpu. and then i might be able to play some of my online racing games with NO lag
Thanks in advance for everyone that tries to help me :yes:

I doubt that the CPU is the bottleneck. What is your graphics card and which online racing game are you playing?

Fastest processor is the X7900 at 2.8 GHz, but as namaiki said, your processor is most likely not the bottleneck.

I have a 8600 GS M nvidia gfx card i think. but the game that i play is called Nitto Legends. and for some reason it lags on this latop. when i'm at work, i have a E8400, 4GB Ram, some crappy HDD, and i think we have a built in intel gfx acceletor gfx card. and when i play online there, i get 0 lag. i always run constant times. but fore some reason it wont work for me on the lapton. i know that the nvidia mobile gfx car is probably still better than crappy built in one the school has. i even upgraded my ram from 2 to 4gb and got 64bit windows 7 rc. but no improvement, so it must be my lower clock speed compared to the E8400 at work. that game is very CPU oriented since if you have a quad in u'r system, its nearly impossible not to run dead on everytime. unless ofcourse u over shift or undershift toooooo much.
so you guys are saying that X7900 is the best thing out there for this laptop with the motherboard. that x7900 is 65nm with 800mhz FSB. that processors price if probably more than what my current laptop is worth lol. if i go to intel procesor finder and click on the core 2 duo processor and i get a whole list of processors, am i not able to add any processor thats 45nm and thats over 800 Mhz FSB? so those T9300's, T9600's, T9800's, and the P8800's, P9700's will never be able to fit in my laptop? even with bios update? so then i should definitely just forget about ever putting the Q9000 from the quad mobile processor list then. it will never work with this laptop? and i was here so ready to buy a Q9000 off of ebay -
The X9000 should work also.

Shows the processors for this chipset. -
so it looks like i can only add any 65nm with 800Mhg FSB processors and all of those are the T series ones, not P or no quads. thanks alot. i was thinking about the X series extreme chips, but then, since i can't do jack in the bios with this HP laptop, there is no point in getting an extreme cpu with unlocked multi, since i can't take full adventage of the unlicked multi
no overclocking ability on this locked bios thing. so my best bet would be the T9300 or T9500.
Thanks so much guys for all the help and the insite. really appreciate it
just surious.... is there any bios support from HP on this MB? maybe if they offer bios update... and might be able to throw in the newer 45nm processors.... just curious, since i found nothing on HP's website about updating bios. maybe i'm just looking at the wrong place? -
The T9300, T9500 and X9000 are 45nm processors. This MB is old enough, I doubt HP will spend the time or money to update the BIOS.
fastest cpu i can buy for my HP DV9500 CTO
