I bought an Acer Aspire which has a T3000 Socket P and have bought a T9600 as an upgrade. Is there anyway to get this to work as, simply inserting it into the CPU socket achieves nothing?
I think your notebook doesn't support FSB=1066 Mhz. So you can't use T9600.
Post screenshots of first (CPU) & third (Mainboard) tabs of CPU-Z with native CPU.

Yes of course, how stupid not to notice that :S
Would a CPU with the same bus speed as the T3000 have a better compatibility, for instance this T9300?
Another problem might be that the original is an Intel Celeron and the T9300 is a Intel Core 2 Duo, what do you think?

But I don't know the model of your laptop. So I need to see requested screenshots.
Thank you for your help so far
Here are the requested screenshots of the CPU and Mainboard tabs from CPU-Z
The Acer's stock CPU is the T3000 and I can clearly see it's CPUID in the list as 1067A. If I put in the T9300 (CPUID=010676h) will it run OK with the T3000's microcode or will there be limited functionality/missing instructions/voltages etc?
To be honest, I'm not really sure what the function of a microcode is
...but if you say it's OK then I'll buy the CPU upgrade!
