Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5250

[liamread2000]

I have been given this laptop free: http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/advent/laptop/7201.htm

The processor is terrible in this machine, it appears it also does not recognise more than 1gb of ram, I also have another old laptop which the nvidia graphic card has failed, could i take the CPU out of that and then put it in this Advent 7201?

This is the CPU thats in the other laptop: http://ark.intel.com/products/30786/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T5250-2M-Cache-1_50-GHz-667-MHz-FSB

THanks

Your primary limitation can come from your BIOS, as in, if there is a lack of support from it then the new processor will not allow your laptop to boot. The secondary limitation can come about from the slight difference in the socket:
PPGA478
PBGA479, PPGA478

It's hard to say which PPGA version your Celeron is at the moment.

But this may be worth further reading as well as this.

Hi,

the links you gave don't work. Also how can I tell what PPGA version I have?

Kind Regards,
