How to upgrade CPU in P4-Notebook (S2430)

Hello. I own an Toshiba Satelite S2430-101. It have 2,53ghz p4 Northwood cpu with socket 478 (133Mhz FSB).

Is it possible to get a 64bit CPU (when i have read correctly, there is a prescott with 133mhz and socket 478) running? Can someone tell me if i could also use an 200mhz FSB CPU? I wouldnt have a problem to change the ram to a faster one.

Thanks

 

To the best of my knowledge, Intel didn't make 64bit mobile CPUs until Core 2.

You'd be a lot better saving for a new computer. Upgrading the processor will result in negligible performance gain, and you have to be prepared to deal with incompatibility issues. Will it play nice with the mobo? Will it overheat (P4's were famous for that)? I see in your sig that you're using it as a file server. If I were you, I'd save that money and get a NAS.

 

I dont need more speed. The cpu could have 1ghz less. I just need EM64T.

There are some prescott and all prescott 2M have EM64T.

Thanks so far

PS: I couldnt do anything with such a NAS. A NAS didnt have any PCMCIA/Express Card slots for UMTS Cards. And also i build my own linux OS with gentoo.

 

you do realize that's a desktop processor?

 

Intel did make some 64-bit Pentium 4 CPUs using their EM64T technology. However, these P4s were part of the Prescott family; a much hotter and more power-hungry revision of the old Pentium 4 models. Installing it in your laptop would result in increased power consumption, noise, and possibly overheating. Having owned a Prescott computer once, I really really wouldn't recommend doing the upgrade, if it is possible at all (because the 64-bit P4s may be desktop-only models, I'm not sure).

 

sorry!
i've no idea!
just a new here!
learning!
