T41 Processor upgrade

#1 Post by ZeroEffect » Sat Jan 26, 2008 7:45 pm

I have a t41 2379-dku i was wondering if there are any processor that i can upgrade with form my 1.6.
Found this on ebay Intel Dothan Pentium M 770 2.13GHz 2.13/2M/533/SL7SL, it seems to have the same socket as my 1.6 ... but i don't know.

Thanks for the help ^_^

The CPU you chose is a 533MT/s model, you need 400MT/s for a T41. See the link below, look on the Dothan list, and look for 400MT/s Dothans. The most popular upgrade is probably the 2.0GHz Pentium M 755. They can be expensive though. A good price performance compromise is the 1.8GHz Pentium M 745.

No, that processor will not work. It is a Pentium 4(IV) mobile. You need a Pentium M mobile. All the processors listed here will work:

No, that's Pentium 4 M. You will need Pentium M Dothan. Here
is a list of Pentium M processors. You need one with 400fsb. It would also be better to get a B1 stepping if my memory serves me right.

Edit: Looks like I was late :)

Hi!
Just curious, what kind of performance would you expect with upgrade from 1.6 ghz. I see 1.8 and 2.0 cpus have 2mb L2cache vs. 1mb on 1.6 model.

Thanks.

Edit: Oh and I see in the list M765 2100mhz (SL7V3 and SL7UZ) at 400 FSB, would that work on T41?
Also I found on eBay this SL7EP 1700mhz and SL7EN that has 2mb cache, I guess my question is would it be worth time (and $30-$40) to upgrade to this from 1600mhz (for extra 1mb L2 and 100-200mhz)
Thanks.

Hi..

I'm still unsure about 400MHz and 533MHz.

This list say's you can run both on a t40.

But how can a change the Multiplier for Example.
Do i have to use tools like Notebook Hardware Control to run a 770 or 780 Dothan Proz.
Or does the Bios adjust it automatically?

Thxs...

Something is wrong with that list. You can't easily run 533 cpus on the 855 chipset (people have used a soldering iron to change that).

Stick to 400.

Pentium M 735, 1.7Ghz with 2MB L2 cache is a nice way to go, very cheap and runs very cool. Remember to set the CPU power profile to Adaptive instead of Performance.
