As far as I can tell the 2.13GHz Dothan core 533mhz FSB processor is the top of the line for this chipset. Is there a compatable dual core chip that I just can't find, that any one would happen to know of?

Just looking for a laptop update if possible. Right now there is 1.86GHz/2MB L2 chip in there, I would only bother updating the laptop if I could go dual core on it as I doubt the 2.13 is really worth the cost over the 1.86.

I was in the same boat as you till my tecra m4 died. All i could find was the 2.13. i would be interested to know as well if someone has gotten anything else to work.

I wasn't sure if there is something out there that is even pin compatible that is supposed to use a 667MHz fsb, but would still work even with the lower multiplier that is supposed to use a higher fsb.

Pentium M-compatible motherbaords won't support Core Duo or Core 2 Duo processors. Sorry.
