Looking for Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T7600 2.33 GHz 667MHz FSB

So, just to give you an update - I did eventually get a refund from the Chinese seller. The reason? One of the guys on BIOS Mod forum asked for photos of both CPUs I had (one I’ve received as ordered, second they’ve sent as a replacement when the 1st didn’t work, claiming it’s from different source). And guess what - BOTH of the CPUs had a same serial number. I can’t believe I haven’t spotted this! So obviously either one or both are fakes, despite what they’ve been originally saying. Hard to believe I know, but there you go @Justintime . This seller has almost 100% positive rating and hundreds of CPUs sold on profile...
Upon receipt of the photos they’ve refunded the money straight away and didn’t even ask for a return.

Anyway, I’ve ordered a new one from different seller and that one worked first time without any issues whatsoever.

Many thanks to everyone who chipped in, all is sorted now and good old nx9420 is now happily humming at max available config
- Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile T7600 64bit 2.33GHz
- 4GB DDR2 PC2-5300 (667 FSB) - yes @Kei only 3.37 are addressable
- 512GB Crucial SATA SSD
- Win 10 64bit and Ubuntu 20.10 64bit

Happy days.

Btw, BIOS was not an issue, all worked even on old version.

great result. Hard to imagine why people feel the need to fake old CPUs like that....my guess is people order them and when they don't work they probably give up!

Yep, I think that’s the case. Just the thought of sending them back - for the £30 it’s not really worth the hassle. Nice little income stream using some old scrap. ********.
