Latitude 131L cpu upgrade

hi,

first i want to say hello to the community. This is my first post. I bought a couple of days ago a Latitude 131L with an Turion 64 X2 TL-50 (1600 MHz) CPU. My question is, what is the maximum what i can put it for a cpu upgrade?

There exists the following TL "Trinidad" (90 nm) models:

# 31W TDP:

* TL-50: 1600 MHz (256 KiB L2-Cache per core)
* TL-52: 1600 MHz (512 KiB L2-Cache per core)

# 33W TDP:

* TL-56: 1800 MHz (512 KiB L2-Cache per core)

# 35W TDP:

* TL-60: 2000 MHz (512 KiB L2-Cache per core)
* TL-64: 2200 MHz (512 KiB L2-Cache per core)

maybe somebody have experience with and upgrade. Thank you for your help.

M.

great thanks for your answer.

so the board supports then also cpu's with Tyler core (65 nm SOI). TL-68 2400 MHz (512 KiB L2-Cache per core) and 35W TDP sounds great.

The Inspiron 1501, which is the same system, is known to work with it.

These were made up to 2.4 GHz, if you can still find one.

Those parts cannot be changed in a notebook - nothing else will fit except the originals.

I am considering the same upgrade,however whilst i have lot of experience with desk tops,not CPU replacements on laptops.

If I swop out CPU do i have to do anything else,such as changing fan or heatsink to allow for faster hotter CPU?

@Chris Simmons  ... if you want to be sure, that nothing goes to hot (so far you don't use as a desktop replacement) buy a cpu which have the same TDP.Like the one you have in right now.

an update to my case. i bought on ebay a AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-60 2.0 GHz CPU (tyler core) for 26$ and changed it yesterday. With help from the instructions which you can find here on the dell support page everything was going pretty smooth. and the laptop runs very well with the new cpu. i have even the feeling, that the fan goes not so often on any more. thanks to the 65nm core.
