Hello,
I have a HP Compaq 6820s laptop with Core 2 Duo T5470 cpu in it. I would like to replace it with something better because it feels slow. The 4 best cpus that are listed in manual are : T7700, T7800, T8300, T9300. However, there is one that isn't listed in manual, the T9500. Basically, it's T9300 with 100mhz boost.
I know that if I would upgrade to any of the 45nm cpus, I would have to update the BIOS. But I don't know, if the BIOS is made only for cpus listed in manual or any cpu of its generation (i.e. any of the 45nm Penryn cpus will work including T9500).
So, will T9500 work in it or should I go for the T9300?
