Series: Core 2 Duo Penryn» Intel Core 2 Duo If you are trying to upgrade from a Merom series Core 2 duo to something from the Penryn series, the odds are it will not work (some motherboards/bios might support it but I doubt it). You can swap out any processor for another on ON THE SAME LIST. Here is a couple lists of Intel Duo Core Processors. Although SOME motherboards may support both processors, the T7250 uses 65nm TECH and the T9900 uses 45nm… this means MOST motherboards will NOT support this upgrade despite the same socket. On Paper it looks like you should be able to upgrade a T7250 to a T9900 since it is also Socket P, x86 architecture, 35TDP with Voltage falling in the same range. The Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 uses Socket P with x86 architecture. Update the Bios Settings of the motherboard for a higher chance of compatibility.Įnsuring these things will increase the chances that an upgrade to the CPU on ANY computer will work.Įxample as reference for purpose of Original Post:.(Socket, Tech, TDP & Voltage should be matched between old/new CPU) Often, CPUs will use same socket, but use different TECH (65nm vs 45nm), TDP or Voltage. Ensure the new CPU has the same TECH as the motherboard/old CPU.The obvious, make sure your new CPU shares the same socket as the motherboard/old CPU.Notes for anyone wanting to upgrade the CPU on any computer to help ensure compatibility: ![]() I called HP and asked them about upgrading the processor, Big no no! lol I was told that the processor for this specific laptop could not be upgraded. the T9600 also has a FSB 1066MHz, the cores are what I think were the problem. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I wish there were an easier way of finding out, with out going through trial and error. The T9600 is cool, but I would actually like to see and feel the difference. I maxed out at 8MB or RAM, now I just need a processor with a bit of power, speed, and Virtualization. Trying to add a bit more power and speed to this laptop. I would like to try the Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100, and at the very least the Intel Core 2 Duo T9900. I would still like to see where I can max out with processors. Luckily for me I also purchased the Intel Core 2 Duo T9600, which worked. ![]() ![]() Ok, so I added the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9100 2.26GHz Quad-Core, and I am not sure if it was a defective processor, or it didn't recognize the Quad.
