Laptop CPU upgrade?

[Alex_294]

hello
I have toshiba satellite a200-1GB with CPU t7300 800 MHz. I want to upgrade my CPU to t9600 1066 MHz.
Does the new CPU will work on my laptop?

thank you

If your laptop has degradable CPU and there is a model that comes with the t9300, it might work.
YOu need to check if the chipset can support the 1066 CPUs or if the CPU can run on 800 motherboard

Nothing like a complicated answer to a simple question

If the Laptop was available with that CPU then it will work, they don't make different proprietary motherboards for different CPUs in laptops that would be far too costly. Its all up to whether the BIOS supports it which is easily discoverable if you can determine if the CPU was available in it.

The major issue here would be finding a T9600 CPU to install. You can't buy these things retail, generally you would need to find another laptop to get it from.

There are several auctions on eBay for the T9600 and they aren't that expensive. So if it doesn't work you aren't out that much money.
By the way, your current T7300 scored 1195 on passmark.com and the T9600 scored 1948 so about 60% increase.

the fsb is diferent, so i may not work. maybe you can try with the Core 2 Duo T7800 2,6ghz, that one has the same fsb.
