Upgrade M1330 to Penryn

[Philio]

I bought my M1330 in December, I'm wondering can I upgrade it to a Penryn chip? The lower power and cooler operation would be nice, I did a search on Google and found a site selling them and it stated that the CPU was incompatible with previous chips, is this true, or would it work?

Works just fine. I've had a T9300 in my m1330 for a month now with no problems. I runs cooler and battery life increased a little as well.

Superb! Thanks for the info
Do you notice any speed increase, or is it really too small to notice?

where did you find them at?

I couldn't find the site I found a couple of days ago, but found this site which has them: http://www.zebracomputers.co.uk/mobi...-duo-c846.html

They have the new 1600FSB chips as well apparently.

These guys are a bit cheaper.

Fantastic service, though the t9500 seems to have gone awol.

Are there any US sites selling them?

Where did you get the T9300 from?

Thanks!

Send an email to networld at ms79.hinet.net requesting a price list. I picked mine up in Dec. for $270 shipped.
