    Need help to Upgrade ThinkPad SL300 to P9600

    I require on the way to find out if my Lenovo SL300 be able to be upgraded on the way to
    P9600 CPU as opposed to max P8700 list on Lenovo. My questions are:
    1)Will the newest Bios support Intel P9600 Processor ?Intel Core 2 Duo P9600
    2)Will the newest Bios support Intel P8800 Processor ?Intel Core 2 Duo P8800
    I am familiar with that this may possibly have been brushed over as well as discharge by means of no one in fact finishing the job of getting an answer from Lenovo, as well as attempting the upgrade as well as posting results.
    I would be grateful for any feedback at all.
    Present processor looking to Upgrade is the T5870. Thank you in advance for any valuable suggestion.

    P8xxx is absolutely acceptable SL300, as well as SL300 was by no means made accessible by means of the P9xxx CPU, in view of the fact that they were together rare as well as costly. P8400 as well as P8800 performance dissimilarity are minimal beneath normal usage.P8xxx be supposed to more than sufficient for the majority people. If you require additional CPU power, after that you should appear on the way to upgrade the laptop by means of either an i5 or else i7 CPU.

    Thanks for your reply.Possibly I am supposed to settle for the P8700 as it is listed as well as I was following the 25w versions as compare to the 35w “T" models. I was assuming this for the reason that the SL300 has now been discontinue that they are not updated the website with the currently available P8800, P9500, as well as P9600. I am certain that I will have performance increase even from the P8700 from my current T5870

    If the P8xxx as well as T9xxx run, after that I do not observe why the P9xxx CPU would not run on the SL300; however I estimate one has on the way to attempt it on the way to observe whether that works. P9600 should work it’s accurately a T9550 however a little undervalued. Just make certain that previous to you replace the CPU , you update your BIOS as a result your laptops support the latest CPU's.

    Re: Need help to Upgrade ThinkPad SL300 to P9600

    I was wondering if it would build a large amount of a difference if I were on the way to upgrade to the P9600 from a P7370 3M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB or else would I be better off just buying one more laptop?Would you as well know how on the way to upgrade the video card? I have up till now have to receive the P9600 which will be a pair of weeksFor SL300 owners the consequences might be helpful if successful.In the mean time if anybody has had success by means of this combination, please let me know....thanks
