want a better cpu for 400 fsb T41 , > 1.7 GHz

#1 Post by T400plus » Mon Apr 23, 2012 6:36 am

My T41 still has some good life left.Last I had was a 1.7 Ghz cpu put with 1.5GB memory and a 160 GB HD.
I was thinking about getting a cpu 'upgrade' if somebody was trying to get a little ready cash.

You can view compatible cpu's on intel's site: http://ark.intel.com/products/codename/2643/Dothan
I'm using a SL7EN 1.8 Dothan. Runs ok and was inexpensive. Next step up is SL7EM 2.0 and the cost for these almost triples. Not sure why. I didn't keep the original 1.6 Banias in long enough to make any real comparison between the two but overall I'm happy with performance, heat and battery life. I would go with the 1.8 and try and source a 1gb stick of ram to raise up to the 2gb limit of these machines. Try your best to keep costs down as these machines are getting older and quality spares are getting more costly. Hope this helps.

Pentium M 765 are expensive as hell but you could source a 755 at a decent (=reasonable) price at around €25. At least I have seen few of these for sale locally at that price.

RBS, when I was researching the upgrade for my T40 I remember some issue with the Dothans with the "A" suffix. Is my memory ok or failing? Thanks, Keith

Raceboy, I looked at the SL7V3 prices. Holy crap!

I have no idea, but it's probably best to stick with non-A models.

I have the 1.8GHz, 2.0GHz, and 2.1GHz CPUs .. eBay for the 755 (2.0GHz) runs around $20 .. for the 765 (2.1GHz) around $65.

Anyone interested, please send me a PM.

Sincerely -- Bob
