Can you fit Core 2 Duo into Celeron Chipset?

Deathgun420 · Dec 6, 2016

So i have been fiddling around with an old acer travelmate 5320. I must say for its age the laptop is qute okay for browsing and doing light gaming. The only bottleneck is its 1 core celeron 560.
So i did some research and this site http://bit.ly/2gh1YeH
claims that you could potentially put a core 2 duo in its chipset. Can anyone confirm that this could work. I really want to upgrade the cpu if there is even a small chance it would work.
And if i do decide to buy a old core 2 duo and put it in the GL960 socket is there any risks involved damagin the mobo or will it simply not work?

These are the officialy supported cpu's. You can try other c2d's but there is no way to know if it will work or not.

Intel® Core™2 Duo Mobile Processor T7300/T7500/T7700 (4 MB L2 cache, 2/2.2/2.4 GHz, 800 MHz FSB), or T7100 (2 MB L2 cache, 1.8 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)

Intel® Core™2 Duo Mobile Processor T7200/T7400/T7600 (4 MB L2 cache, 2/2.16/2.33 GHz, 667 MHz FSB), T5500/T5600 (2 MB L2 cache, 1.66/1.83 GHz, 667 MHz FSB) or T5200/T5300 (2 MB L2 cache, 1.60/1.73 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)

Intel® Core™ Duo Mobile Processor T2250/T2350/T2450 (2 MB L2 cache, 1.73/1.86/2 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)

Intel® Celeron® M processor 520/530 (1 MB L2 cache, 1.6/1.73 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)

Intel® Celeron® M processor 440 (1 MB L2 cache, 1.86 GHz, 533 MHz FSB)

Also if any of these cost more than 20$ then you are paying way to much especially for the core duo and celeron cpu's.

Most likely you'll brick your notebook and turn it in to a paper weight.

Thank you for the quick reply!
What are your thouhts on the FSB? on the official ark.intel site it says that its clocked at 533, but some people on that website are commenting that it supports up to 800MHz?
What cpu should i try to find and buy? because if the fsb is locked at 533 there is no reason to buy a 800 MHz cpu?
