T7250 works too

Posted by: pckraddler

My Acer Extensa 5235 does have this GL40 Chipset (according to Everest System Analysis-Tool) an I successfully upgraded from a Mobil Celeron M 575 to a Core2Duo Mobile T7250

Therefore I assume all CPUs with similar features (Merom-core in 0,065 micrometer) as the T7250 will work in Mainboards with this Chipset

in my Acer Extensa

Are you sure that Q9000 and QX9300 work in a GL40-System ?

Both, the Q9000 and QX9000 does have a FSB of 1066MHz !

Until now I assumed the maximum limit FSB of the GL-Chipset is 800mHz....

Or did you accidentially mixed these processors with the X9000 wich does have 800MHz ?

T5250 Works Perfectly

Posted by: Chanceypoo

T5250 Intel Core 2 Duo 1.5 ghz 667mhz 2mb L2 cache

I never thought it would work til I saw people posting great results with other processors not listed as "compatible". I had an old T5250 laying around from an old Dell laptop I used to have. So I swapped out my Celeron 900 in my Toshiba Satellite L355-S7915 wall mart special for the Duo and applied some new thermal grease and bang! It booted Win7 perfectly without a hiccup. It doesnt matter what kind of laptop u have. All that matters is the mobo you have and the socket of processor.

I gotta say it was an easy and worth while upgrade not to mention it was free! My laptop is much more responsive and doesn't bog down like it did with the Celeron. I noticed the difference immediately and that was just with a bottom of the line Core 2 Duo.

T5250 costs 4 bucks on eBay.

Just to let you all know about:

I upgraded my Acer Extensa 5235 (which does have the GL40-Chipset) again.

A T8300 is working in it now without any problems.

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P7450


I have Hp 620 T3100 Laptop with Gl40 Chipset ...and Bios UPDATED to be compatible with core 2 .....


1)I think that i had failure because of 1066mhz fsb.
2)An other reason is from difference core voltage
t3100 ---> 1.000volt - 1.250 volt
p7450----> 1.050volt - 1.150 volt


Is there any good idea?

Posted by: Drev9

The GL40 chipset will support Any Socket P CPU with a max of 800Mhz FSB. I have owned multiple Toshiba Satellite L355's, and have installed upwards of a T9500 and T9300 successfully. These all work:

T9500
T9300
T7800
T7700
T7500
T7300
T7100
T6500
T6400
T5800
T5750
T5550
T4200

There are plenty more, but I have tried all of these successfully in a GL40 chipset motherboard. As long as you are running socket P, and do not exceed 800Mhz FSB, it will work.

T9500

Posted by: wncd

Thank you very much Drev9. I think that t9500 is the best upgrade option.
I found a used t6670 on ebay 23.17€.
Please contact with me dr_giwrgos@yahoo.gr if you have t9500 .It is very expensive to buy a new one.
can you send me t9500?

i also installed a 60gb cheap ssd and now this 5 year old leptop is really fast.

Ram

2013-05-10 11:22:58
Posted by: ozlay

ram is always backwards compatible so evan if it dont run at spec 800mhz the ram will still work however as long as your cpu has a fsb of 800mhz then pc6400 should work just fine at the defult 800mhz but that also depends on if your board is ddr2 or if its ddr3

conclusion: pc6400 will work with GL40 chipset asl ong as your board/laptop supports ddr2 ram
