I have this Toshiba A10 Satellite laptop with the following processor inside
2,2GHz Celeron
Package Type: Micro-FCPGA
Bus Speed - 400MHz
L2 Cache - 256kb
http://download.intel.com/support/processors/mobile/celeron/sb/25130808.pdf
The socket on the board is a 479, despite the microprocessor being originally designed to fit into a 478 type.
Than, on a scrap board from another lappy here, sits a rather unused T5200 dual core with the following spcification
1.60 GHz / 2M / 533,
http://ark.intel.com/products/27252/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T5200-2M-Cache-1_60-GHz-533-MHz-FSB
This sits in a uPGM 478 MT socket on the mobo.
I've seen many forums where the posters are indifferent on the 478 > 479 socket upgrades, some say they work, some say they wont
Without damaging the motherboard or replacement chip by usual trial error, can anyone confirm up front
if this microprocessor will fit in the Toshiba and power up, and if it might give any improvement on performance being a dual core jobby, higher speed bus (and a far higher F2 cache), despite being only 1.6GHz speed ?
