Has anyone tried to install a T7200 into a T61?

The T7200 has a frequency of 166Mhzx12=2Ghz, if we plug it into a Santa Rose platform like the T61, will the chip work at 200Mhzx12=2.4Ghz (T7700)?
I know it sounds crazy but I remember similar things worked in the Dothan days.

Nope they are not interchangeable, sorry.

the pinouts are different. very likely you will fry the cpu and/or planar board. don't try it.

Ok, thanks for the info. Saved one CPU for me.

Even if the pinout was fine, BIOS will set FSB to 166 MHz with a T7200. The FSB 166 Mhz is supported buy 965PM and GM chipsets.
