T42 1.7 processor on a T41 1.5

#1 Post by sgr1 » Sun Mar 09, 2008 2:56 pm

My question i quite simple, can i put the processor (1.7) from my T42 onto a T41 that was a 1.5GHz ? The machine types are the following
T42 2373-W5U
T41 2373-2GG
Is this an easy operation ?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum!

To find the answer to your question, I most politely suggest the following approach (which you will absolutely benefit from learning yourself, on the longer perspective):

1) Go to the forum.thinkpad.com Search function,

2) In the "Search for Keywords" field, enter: "T41 cpu upgrade",

3) Select "Search for all terms",

4) Select "Forum = T4x Series",

5) Press "Search",

6) Enjoy reading! :-)

Best regards,

Johan

Thank you that was very helpful, the transfer rate seems to be the same so i should work.

Sorry to have posted for such an easy question :oops:

I take it your search revealed that the answer was "yes".

Yes you can. I've also upgraded from PM 1.4 Banias to PM 1.7 Dothan in my T41. It's quite simple.
