Few speed upgrade questions for my HP DV9700 notebook?

[ka-lin]

Hi all,
I was wondering, can I squeeze a little bit more from the old machine - HP DV9700 notebook.

1. What is the best CPU upgrade for old buddy?

2. Could I get RAM to operate faster than current speed, which is 333 Mhz?
My old DDR2 modules was slower - PC2 5400 (667Mhz), so upgrade to faster module didn't change anything?


Motherboard:
Quanta 30CB, rev. 79.2E, Intel PM965 (rev. C0), and Intel 82801HBM (ICH8-ME) Southbridge (rev. B1), 800Mhz FSB IIRC..
Master HDD: SATA SSD Kingston 120 GB
Latest BIOS Update from HP - rev.F.58
RAM: 4 GB DDR2 PC2 6400 (800MHZ).
Current CPU is Intel Core 2 Duo T9500@2.6 GHz (Socket 478) 800Mhz bus
GPU: GeForce 8600 GS 512 MB


other than topic':

CPU-Z shows me different CPU Bench scores under x64 Windows 7 and Windows 10 (currently running). The difference is BIG, is this some kind of error or it is normal?

Regards,
Kalin

look for a 800mhz fsb cpu in this link as appears your p9500 cpu is as high as you can go.

Thanks for your reply. Is the P9500 any better than T9500?
So I cannot put T9900 or other than 800 MHZ FSB processor?

I screwed up as can't use a p9500 cpu as it is a1066mhz fsb compared to your cpu's 800mhz fsb.
