Processor Upgrade: Compaq CQ-60

Last response: in CPUs

Well embarrassingly enough, I'm running an Intel Mobile Celeron 900 processor rated 2.2ghz. I was thinking about upgrading the processor if it isn't soldered in.

Specs of the laptop: From CPUZ
Processor 1 ID = 0
Number of cores 1 (max 1)
Number of threads 1 (max 1)
Name Intel Mobile Core 2 Solo

L2 cache 1024 KBytes, 4-way set associative, 64-byte line size
FID/VID Control no

Hewlett Packard bios version F.65


I was thinking about upgrading to a T6400 or P7550. I am just worrying about BIOS and MOBO compatibility with the two chips. I also know that the FSB is rated to 800mhz, and the P7550 has a 1066mhz FSB, would there be any performance losses, or should I just stick with the T6400?

Its PGA478, i doubt its soldered as that CPU doesn't support the BGA.

That upgrade depends on if the bios supports it and if the chipset supports it.

I doubt it would work but it might, you can buy a cheap CPU on Ebay and try it.

Any way I could check that compatibility? I know the processor in there now is running on the Penryn architexture and the processor I want to upgrade to is as well, the major difference is the 900 is single core while the upgraded one is dual core.
