Laptop CPU upgrade?

[Champion Of Sparta]

Hello all, I just got a recent hand me down from my neighbor and I think I may of made a foolish mistake. You see I thought that all S1 socket cpu's would work on this Compaq 6715b laptop, I had already upgraded the ram from 2gb to 4gb. But the main thing that was keeping this computer down was its old Amd turion 64x2 mobile TL-52 1,6ghz processor. So what did I do I looked up and found that the AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-66 (2.3-GHz, 2 x 512-KB L2 cache) was the best processor. So what did I do....well I looked it up on ebay found one and purchased one.....except it was this processor

So how screwed am I guys, will it work? After all the processor I purchased was made in 2010, where as the laptop is 2006/7ish. And I believe they are the same socket, please correct me if im wrong.

And I forgot to mention, I have checked that manual. But it is dated back to 2007 not 2010.

Been looking it up for you - screwed? Maybe, maybe not?

Based on the laptops chipset (AMD 690T) it's a/supports S1 socket [http://]. Though this socket has a number of revisions and dependable on which revision, even though it's a S1 socket may not work.

The processor you have purchased of ebay is of the S1g4 [http://] socket revision. So if the CPU socket is of the S1g4 S1 socket revision it should work.

Good luck

Looked up some more and unfortunately looks like the processor you got off ebay wont work. The microprocessor (CPU) is oif the K10 family which does not support S1 CPU sockets.
