Core2Extreme X9000 running amazing on an eMachines D725!!

I can tell you with certainty that the Core 2 Extreme X9000 works perfect on an old eMachines D725 with GL40 chipset (I am writing this with this fresh update), additionally I had already tested the T9500 which worked flawlessly for years. The factory CPU in this notebook was a T4300 for the record.

Good! I think that's good news for my old lumpy Acer 7730G with the same chipset which now bears a low end cpu. I happen to have the Core 2 Extreme X7900 -> T4200

Thanks, man – your CPU upgrade project really inspired me. The eMachines D725 means a lot to to me; my dad gave it to me, and it was my very first laptop. I played through all the Half‑Life games on it (except Alyx, of course XD). I'm going to try the same upgrade you did – swapping the T4300 for a T9500 on the GL40 chipset. Really appreciate it!
