look at "Steppings using 45 nm process"
T9000 P9000 SP9000 SL9000 Q9000 QX9000 are in the same Gap.

yes I saw,

but I have read so many forums where users explain that they can't upgrade their laptop from a Core 2 Duo to a Core 2 Quad, even if the compatibility proco list was OK,

I begin to doubt for everything (sorry for my english Confused)

I bought a Q9100 for 150€ and I'm waiting for it
maybe, I would have to buy a T9900...
if you get the q9100 please tell if it's work or not

yes of course

I want to test it

EDIT: I'm waiting for Q9100 arrival...
hope it works fine...

... to be continued ...
does anybody know about the " q9200 " ? it's seems like that it was a cpu in production but never came out as a OEM ?
Hi, everybody

I'm getting the Q9100, but, but, I'm very disappointed.

First it's not a SLB5G (OEM) but a a QAVK (ES = Engineering sample), I think it's not a stable CPU


Secondly, I can't test it because I can't dissassemble the CPU himself on my laptop, cause the heatsink seems to be soldered (is it the term?) to the chipset.
Anyway, I can't remove the heatsink (after removing the screws, I can't move it, even a little) and I don't wanna force the removing, which can cause break my laptop.

But, if anybody can tell me how I can do it without damage, perhaps?

after you removed the screws can't you lift it a bit up ? just even 0,5 cm ?
not at all Angry

I can't move the heatsink: in any way, it doesn't move
And what want you do now?
if you take out the fan you can maybe take out the headpipes
hello ender28,

I've tested the Q9100 today on my M70Vn: that doesn't work Angry

No OS can loaded with it: neither Vista/Seven nor Linux loads when the Q9100 is plugged.
No error or BSOD nor kernel panic, but no loading at all: the OSes are hanging .... with black screen.
That's all.
If I replugged the original CPU (P8600), everything is well!!

Additional infos:
- Due to these two dies on its back, the Q9100 isn't fitting correctly with the heatsink: it takes more place when the heatsink is soldered on it.
=> you see like a bump when the heatsink is applied on the CPU.
Possible overheating may result!

- In BIOS, the CPU is recognised as Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU @ 2,26 GhZ


You have your answer now ender28 Cool
I think you can buy a T9900: it would work on M70Vn
I bought recently an Intel C2D T9900 (slighty OC to 3,2 Ghz) and plugged it in my M70Vn: that works very well!

Here is the results:
