Am thinking about upgrading my processor. Any ideas??
I currently have a Intel Dual Core 1.83ghz T2400 in my Inspiron 9400. What faster processor will fit and be compatible with the rest of my system? What other details do you need to know about my current system?
Be gentle as I am not too clued up in these matters :emotion-43:
Thank you!

Hi, the one in this link - is that the fastest/best one for me? Will there be a substantial difference between this and the 1.83ghz? Thanks.

All of the CPUs this system will take are out of production, so you'll need to search the used or old-stock market. This is one of the last Socket M systems - the three fastest, most capable CPUs for it are the T7200, T7400 and T7600.
You CANNOT use any T7x00 with x = odd or above 6, or any of the P8x00 CPUs - even many of the Txxx CPUs won't work -- those are all Socket P or higher and not supported.

It'll be faster - yes, but not $260 faster. Given the age of the system, put the funds away toward the purchase of a replacement system.
