    i'm upgrading my Sony SZ680 with t7300 to t9300, but i found two different t9300 on the web which one is the correct one?

    Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 CPU SLAQG
    Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 CPU SLAPV

    or will both of them work?

    Both will fit as they both use the same pin type 479. One uses BGA and one uses PGA type. The Ball grid array processors are typically used more in very thin or ultraportable notebooks.

    I would tend to go with one that had the lowest voltage rating.

    I have the T9300 processor in my notebook. I don't think that there is a way of me checking the exact type of processor i have though.
