FINLAND. EVERYTHING IS EXPENSIVE HERE.
I have an HP nx9420 notebook, fitted with a T5600 CPU, huffing at 1.83GHz. Looking at the Intel CPU spec finder, there are many FSB667 CPUs, up to 2.33GHz, but there's no info on what package they're in. Is it so, that the T5750 (2GHz) is the fastest CPU in the 479 package, or are there T7*00s in that package, too?

Also, if the T5750 is the fastest, would it be enough to suffice an upgrade? The computer is used for web browsing and gaming with a Mobile X1600 256MB, games like BF2 and Painkiller are what I play, and some other semi-old games that an X1600 can run fine.
 
difference between the two sockets is 90 degrees. as they rotated the socket M then relabled it Socket P. They did this to force people into buying new laptops. socket M is for cpus with 667 fsb, socket P is for cpu's with 800/1066. socket M only comes with 945GM and Socket P comes with either 965GM or GM45.

T5600 is socket M as well as the T7400, i was going to get the T7200. there is also a extreme version of the T7600 which has a unlocked multi. it can hit 3.2ghz clock speed.... offically HP says T7400 but that chipset can support the extreme T7600 as well as the plain T7600.

Thank you, that's what I wanted to hear :)
 
just double check first if you try to use the T7600 to get the lastest bios for your lappy. as that would be the only thing to stop it from working. which would be ironc, that cpus micro code would be left out of the bios.
