Is it possible to upgrade samsung RV509-A08IN's pentium p6100 to core i3 processor ?
Thanks
 
Solution
That is not the chipset you listed, that is just the SATA controller for the hard drive and DVD player.

This site lists the CPUs in the same socket as the Pentium p6100 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_G1 but if your laptop will work with any of those you have to check with the laptop vendor, sometimes the BIOS version notes list the supported CPUs.
 


How to get the bios supported cpu list?
chipset (maybe)
Intel(R) HM55 Express Chipset LPC Interface Controller - 3B09
Intel(R) 82802 Firmware Hub Device

thanks

 


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.
