I've looked around but cant find a definitive answer to this.
Does anyone know if its possible to swap out my T7500 2.2Ghz currently in my Dell 1330 for a new P9500? Not sure if the chipset will support this or not?

Cheers

I'm not 100% but I'm think you need the newer Centrino 2 platform to run these 1066 bus chips.

X9000 I think. Have a look in CPU-Z, the motherboard should use a PM965 chipset I think, with a BIOS flash you should be able to run a X9000. Cooling it could be a problem though.
