    I was just wondering if it is possible to use a Penryn CPU in the SZ6 models? ie. t9xxx or X9xxx.

    It should work. Although the Penryn T8xxx series offers the best price\performance ratio ;)

    Actually none,right now.
    I put that previous post shortly after replacement,when noticed some tendency to overheat due to new cpu,I thought.
    After a bit more thermal paste was applied,everything went back to proper state.
    So sorry for the little mess.

    It's good to know! I was concerned when I read this article saying that the Penryn (T8xxx and T9xxx) CPUs won't work on the Santa Rosa chipset.
