Hey, I'm looking into doing a laptop cpu upgrade for my Vostro 1500. It currently has a T5270 Core 2 Duo (1.4 ghz/2mb/800fsb). I'm looking into some of my upgrade options and was wondering how much of a difference a FSB change would be (i.e. 667 vs 800) if I was going to a higher clock speed (i.e. 1.4 to 1.83). Whenever I check my ram via CPUZ, it appears that it is only running at 333 mhz anyway.
One cpu that looked good was the t5550, which is 1.83ghz/2mb/667. However, the voltage and thermal specs are identical, so it would be a good fit. Plus, the cpu would be cheap.
Any advice? Thank you in advance.
