T2330 Socket ?
Am I correct in saying that the Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2330 is a 478 pin Socket P processor ?
Thanks.

Re: T2330 Socket ?
Yeah that should be correct seen those Cpus being offered in DEll and Zepto CPus which are based on SR platform so you might even be able to push it up to Penryn processors. However check your manual as some manufacturers tend to lock upgradeability options

Re: T2330 Socket ?
Yeah. You might (MIGHT) be able to use a Penryn, if the bios allows it. Since the 1520 has been replaced by the 1525, it might very well not be upgradable or get a bios update allowing penryns.

Re: T2330 Socket ?
Isn't the T2330 considered as Yonah/Napa platform? In that case, no Penryns will not work and it would be socket M not Socket P.

Re: T2330 Socket ?
However, you can upgrade to the Merom core (Core 2 Duo) under the T5600, T7000, T7200, T7400, T7600 processors which are rated at 667 FSB provided that you have a BIOS update available.
Intel Processor Finder See here All 667mhz applies to you, 800 mhz will not work and a different socket altogether.

I believe that's correct:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_M
I think it'll work with the 667MHz FSB C2D's, but the article suggests that the 800MHz C2D's are Socket P. |

Re: T2330 Socket ?
It's a socket P. It's Santa Rosa. It's Merom. It's an Inspiron 1520.

Re: T2330 Socket ?
I thought 800Mhz FSB was required to be Santa Rosa? Isn't T2330 533Mhz FSB? But yes socket P. I think it is being missed that Santa Rosa platform is a mixture of certain components one of them being a socket "P" CPU, but having a socket "P" does necessarily mean you have Santa Rosa.

Re: T2330 Socket ?
If it has a Centrino label, It's santa rosa (as santa rosa is the fourth gen Centrino platform). If it doesn't, It's not santa rosa.
