T41p CPU replacement

#1 Post by tompson » Fri Oct 14, 2005 4:48 pm

I have a T41p IBM laptop with a Intel Pentium M 1.7GHz processor. I'm wondering if there is a way to find the chipset information of my laptop to find what retail Intel CPUs would be compatible with my laptop. You see I'm looking to upgrade the CPU to something a little faster but I don't really know what will be compatable. I think anything 400MHz gen 2 right?

So, anyone who knows... What is the fastest commercially avaliable pentium processor that I can drop into my T41p?

I'm an experianced (in my humble opinion) desktop builder and computer enthusiast but I hate to admit that I don't have much experiance working with laptops... Hence my question....

I believe the intel 765 is the fastest at 2.1ghz. You need a pentium-M with 400 mhz bus. These are the pentium-Ms that end in 5. However, you will probably have some heat issues with the faster CPUs. You would probably need to use CHC to undervolt the CPU to avoid heat related slow-downs.
