[SOLVED] Upgrade Intel Core 2 Duo T5200 on laptop ?

[MaNaNtOnIo]

Hi.
My query is that I have a Fujitsu Amilo 1818 with an Intel core 2 Duo T5200 processor with socket 479 mPGA and I would like to change the processor for a better one, but the truth is that I do not know which one to choose, which one would you recommend? I have found this page....

https://www.cpu-world.com/Compare_C...M,Intel_LF80537GF0534M,Intel_LF80537GF0534MU/

and after spending hours and hours looking and comparing processors and from my most modest knowledge of the subject I think that some of these could be the right one but I'm not sure and I don't want to kill the machine, I also comment that I put an SSD and 2Gb of RAM .

I have tried to speak with fujitsu but I am still waiting for the answer, the same as from Intel that has not responded for several weeks that I contacted them.

Thank you.

There is almost no way to know if a CPU will work in your laptop because compatibility is more than just the socket type. Even if the CPU fits the laptop motherboard and/or BIOS may not work with it.

Buy a used newer system for about $100-150, upgrading such an old system is a waste of time and money. Lots of used i3 and i5 based laptops for that price around.

Past that, either do a web search for your model and see if anyone upgraded it and wrote about it, or cross your fingers and buy a CPU of the same socket and see if it works.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I will keep trying to get in touch with the manufacturer to see what he tells me ...

Don't expect much help from them regarding compatible upgrades, in my experience they aren't too hot on tech stuff like that.
