hey guys im knda new to the whole laptop stuff as ive only ever worked with desktops. anyway ive just upgraded the ram on my laptop but i still wanna go that ittle bit faster. is there anyway i can upgrade the cpu on my laptop and if so how do i know wat socket it is? the laptop is a ACER Travelmate 4102WLMi. and the cpu in it now is a Intel Pentium M Processor 740. (1.73ghz, 5333 mhz fsb, 2MB L2 cache) any help would be great. cheers
With laptops you could only add a CPU from the same series, so you could only get an extra couple of hundred mhz by doing that. Really, it's not worth bothering with I'm afraid.
ok good question cause i'm new to laptops too I have a T5250 in Pavilion DV2615US. Does anyone know what the socket for this animal is and what the max processor that can go into it? Off the to of your head that is. Thanks for any help.
Zer0ink, specs on your laptop & presume it is a socket 775. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...=ca&dlc=en&product=3548267&rule=44120&lang=en

Socket P has 478 pins, but is not pin-compatible with Socket M or Socket 478.
Hmm, that's interesting. That won't apply to noalittle's Travelmate though, I suspect that's probably one of the original 478s.
noalittle, this is yours 740 90 nm 2 MB L2 1.73 GHz 533 MHz this is possible 780 90 nm 2 MB L2 2.26 GHz 533 MHz see link to understand the numbers meaning http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/chart/pentium_m.htm mPGA479M Zer0ink, this is yours T5250 65 nm 2MB L2 1.50 GHz 667 MHz this is possible T7600 65 nm 4MB L2 2.33 GHz 667 MHz see link to understand the numbers meaning http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/chart/core2duo.htm
