Fastest i7 CPU for W701

[smf]

Hey party people!

I Just bought a W701 Thinkpad off ebay, i think the highest speed i7 available stock with this system was only 2.0Ghz for sum reason? But I figured someone must know some alternative i7's that we can stuff in it, with much more power... Hopefully!
Thanks All!

That i7 will be plenty fast still even at 2ghz. Here’s all the specs that are possible. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:W701

Presumably it will max out with a 940XM. Not sure about heat dissipation though. That is sometimes a bit tricky with XMs.

950mx really won't be compatible?

There is no 950MX...?

No idea. Does the W701 take regular CPUs or just mobile CPUs?

Nehalem only, so mobile chips

Nope, that's a desktop CPU, completely different socket. 940XM is the fastest.
