Gateway M-6750 CPU upgrade possible?

[ice91785]

Based on THIS I figure that a CPU upgrade in my laptop would most certainly be attainable... however I am curious as to whether or not you guys feel that my MoBo will properly detect various CPUs....I currently have a T5450 installed in the system.

Basically I am looking at possibly:

1) T7500

2) T8100

3) T9300

The only problem is I am not that familiar with notebooks' CPUs in regard to their universiality -- will a 'socket P CPU' fit in ANY socket P notebook mobo?

Any replies are appreciated!!

yes any socket P will fit, the speedier cpu's might required a driver install and a restart but don't worry cuz Windows Vista comes with those drivers.

I have two Gateway's laptops (one M-series) and it's very easy to change the processor.

Do you think that I could replace the T5450 (65nm) with a T8xxx series CPU (45nm) and not have to worry about over-volting? Also you think that the notebook with recognize the proper specs of the CPU?

don't worry, it will work, i've done it 3 times
