exra_bujang, have you looked at the serial number on your RAM slots? it usually begins with five letters like "MBTEB" or "MBAZL". Considering the chip you have already, I would say it's likely that you have the 940GML chipset, which would mean that the fastest options are either a Core Solo, such as a T1600, or a Core 2 based Celeron, such as the Celeron M 520 (or the socket M version 530). I've successfully overclocked a Celeron M 520 well over 2 GHz, which resulted in quite good performance. I used "setfsb" with (if I remember correctly) the ICS 954310BGLF PLL. There's not yet any support for that PLL in the Linux utility "lfsb", but it should be easy enough to figure out how to do.

Of course, if you have the 943GML chipset, then you can go all the way up to a T7600, but the (very cheap) T5300 can usually go much faster when overclocked.

Don't forget the BIOS update!

if i have 940gml, so can use intel core solo only? what is the meaning of Intel i943/940GML? then, what is "setfsb"?

[ezra_bujang]

mine is acer aspire 3680 celeron m 1.46ghz. Intel i943/940GML. does it really work?

[benvanderjagt]

The "i943/940GML" means that PC Wizard and Everest Ultimate don't know which one it really is, whether it's the 943GML or 940GML. unfortunately, software can't tell you whether you have the 940 or the 943.

If you open the memory cover, there is a sticker on the memory slot. What does that sticker say?

[ezra_bujang]

i have open the ram cover, and it say it is 940gml..so bad. what is the best cpu for my laptop? celeron M 410 is not good in performance. also, it waste my laptop battery. i can only used my battery for 2 hours..

can any body tell the list of cpu that is very compatible with my laptop? chipset is gml940..
