'''Notes for anyone wanting to upgrade the CPU on any computer to help ensure compatibility:'''
* The obvious, make sure your new CPU shares the same socket as the motherboard/old CPU
* Ensure the new CPU has the same TECH as the motherboard/old CPU. '''''Often, CPUs will use same socket, but use different TECH (65nm vs 45nm)''''', TDP or Voltage. (Socket, Tech, TDP & Voltage should be matched between old/new CPU)
* Update the Bios Settings of the motherboard for a higher chance of compatibility.
Ensuring these things will increase the chances that an upgrade to the CPU on ANY computer will work.
''Example as reference for purpose of Original Post:''
''The Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 uses Socket P with x86 architecture.''
''On Paper it looks like you should be able to upgrade a T7250 to a T9900 since it is also Socket P, x86 architecture, 35TDP with Voltage falling in the same range. Although SOME motherboards may support both processors, the T7250 uses 65nm TECH and the T9900 uses 45nm… this means MOST motherboards will NOT support this upgrade despite the same socket.''
I hope this helps someone!

'''Notes for anyone wanting to upgrade the CPU on any computer to help ensure compatibility:'''
* The obvious, make sure your new CPU shares the same socket as the motherboard/old CPU
* Ensure the new CPU has the same TECH as the motherboard/old CPU. '''''Often, CPUs will use same socket, but use different TECH (65nm vs 45nm)''''', TDP or Voltage. (Socket, Tech, TDP & Voltage should be matched between old/new CPU)
* Update the Bios Settings of the motherboard for a higher chance of compatibility.
Ensuring these things will increase the chances that an upgrade to the CPU on ANY computer will work.
''Example as reference for purpose of Original Post:''
''The Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 uses Socket P with x86 architecture.''
''On Paper it looks like you should be able to upgrade a T7250 to a T9900 since it is also Socket P, x86 architecture, 35TDP with Voltage falling in the same range. Although SOME motherboards may support both processors, the T7250 uses 65nm TECH and the T9900 uses 45nm… this means MOST motherboards will NOT support this upgrade despite the same socket.''
I hope this helps someone!
