I searched for cpu upgrade options with this laptop with samsung site and others, even tried finding units for sale with a upgraded cpu , but nothing. so confirmation is not easy at all. Wiki has that list of cpu's that fit socket g1/988 they seem to have all the correct specs but unless i can find a bios/cpu compatibility list for that machine i won't say yes for sure. Being a laptop and the pain of trying a cpu in one, i understand you would want confirmation. Samsung reps may need to be questioned

The manual says this though, on page 82: NP-RC408/RC418/RC508/RC518/RC708/RC718/RV409/RV509
CPU (Optional) Intel i3/i5/i7 (Core) / Pentium Dual Core / Celeron Procesor

I contacted samsung reps but they said it wouldn't work but i tried i3 350 m and it's working perfectly but will it affect adversely in long run ?
Thanks
 


If it works flawlessly and heat sits fine, should be ok.
