Dell D830 Intel965 chipset with T9800 processor

[idata]

Hi all,

I have question, i have Dell D830 laptop with chipset Intel 965, from datasheet it work with FSB 1066 , so i can put T9800 processor, right? But problem with memory it will only work by FSB 800.

Or only what i make with processor is T9500.

Dell dont know any, they simply says that i can only put T7800.

Thanks for answer

This guide might be of help for people attempting to do the same thing:

It might also help to know that I tried a working Intel P8700 processor in a Dell D830 and it did not work; I strongly suspect because the processor is 1066 Mhz and suspect the 965 chipset does not support front system bus speeds of 1066. I have not spent enough time verifying whether the chipset will support 1066 bus speeds, but my failed attempt tells and the compatibility guide seem to indicate that it does not.

I hope this helps someone.
