First off, the CPU is soldered to the motherboard, so it can't be changed out. Secondly, Intel and AMD use completely different sockets, so even with the CPU was removable, the Intel chip still wouldn't fit.

Toshiba has a habit of having different variations of the same model of laptop, some with AMD processors, and some with Intel, but they're both called that model number, in your case the Sattelite C660. The guy with the blog had a C660 with an Intel processor on it, or at the very least bought an Intel based motherboard for that laptop model and did a full motherboard replacement in addition to the CPU.

Hey Vrumor, thanks for the reply firstly, but can you explain why not? I believe you ,but I was reading a blog from a guy who upgraded his Satellite with the T9400 and he said it worked perfectly, I'm not an expert in this area but I'm confused now :/

Your CPU is soldered to the motherboard so it can't be changed without replacing the motherboard as well. Unless you feel like tracking down the Intel motherboard and CPU for the C660 and swapping out the whole motherboard, you're going to have to just buy a new computer if you need more performance than what the E-450 is giving you.
