CPU Upgrade

[junjo]

Hi everybody,

I have a Samsung 510 laptop and I want to change the processor.

Could I use one of these processors?

Penryn

Intel Core 2 Duo T9900

Intel Core 2 Duo T9600

Intel Core 2 Duo T9800

Intel Core 2 Duo T9300

OR
Merom

T9400, T9550, T9600, T9800, T9900, X9100 are recommended for upgrade this laptop.

[junjo]

Ok.
Many thanks DeathBringer.

It won't be any problem if I pass from Merom to Penryn?

No.

[junjo]

Ok. Thanks again.

Finally I upgraded to Intel T9600 and for the moment everything is working fine. The Windows Experience Index grew from 5.1 (processor and ram memory) to 6.3 (processor and ram memory).

Many thanks to all.
