Dell Inspiron 1545 CPU Upgrade

The three fastest are the Intel P8600, P8700 and P8800.

I own two Dell Inspiron 1545 laptops. They came with a Pentium T4200 and a Pentium T4400 cpu. I upgraded one to an Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 and the other to an Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 cpu. The Dell Inspiron 1545 can accept up to an Intel Core 2 Duo T9900. Just make sure to upgrade the laptop bios to version A-14 before upgrading the cpu. Check out YouTube for videos showing how to perform the cpu upgrade.

I have put together a list of possible cpu upgrades for the Dell Inspiron 1545. I  have also included current Ebay buy it now prices for used cpu's. The list shows the cpu model, cpu clock speed, cache size, bus speed and cpu watts.

Hello and good morning.

Be advised that of most importance is the SOCKET number. For example, I had a Pentium M 1.6Ghz that had a 755 socket. I wanted to upgrade as you are but a 2.26Ghz processor had a different socket.

Enter Intel Processors in Wikipedia and there is a list of processors but this was long ago when I did this. It depends if Intel updated the article.

Food for thought.
