ACER Aspire 7736ZG BIOS microcode update for P9700 plz

[JoH]

Hello,

I have an old (from 2009) laptop Acer Aspire 7736ZG with an intel T4300.
I would like to replace the T4300 by a Core 2 mobile P9700 CPU.

The BIOS don't have the microcode of the P9700.

Can you help me to upgrade the bios with the good new microcode ?

Here are the files I have found :

Original BIOS v2.10
Microcode : 06-17-0a (Can you verify I am not wrong with this one ?)

I have to wait 15days to get from transport the P9700 CPU, I have still the T4300 inside the computer.
All forum I have already read tell about the lack of the microcode for this update.

My actual microcode is 0xA07, those with P9700 are often with 0xA0C.
I hope VT-X and SSE 4.1 functions can be well detected.
Do you think, there is an interest to make visible some function in bios that are probably yet hidden ?

Have a nice day,
