I just love this laptop so I decided to give it a new lease of life by installing the T9900, replacing the HDD with an SSD and swapping out my plain keyboard with a backlit. The Intel Processor Diagnostics gives it a clean bill of health everytime I checked in the last couple of weeks that I have had it. I have the Duo Core at 3.1Ghz running at high performance setting and temping at 110 F, handles everything I have thrown at it. After upgrading to win 10 pro none of the quick response buttons work but I can live with that. Installing the cpu in the socket is easy but getting to it required pretty much dismantling the entire base and is not for the faint of heart. But now I have a system that will hold me for another five years. Thanks to ebay and spare parts sellers in the marketplace.

My laptop speed jumped almost 600 MHz I had an older processor P8600 , without any other upgrades I see substantial network performance and web pages load really fast. Installing is not so easy, too many screws and cables to remove, needs lot of patience, but finally, I got it done after 3 years of contemplating over it. There is no online video of changing the processor, my Laptop is at least ~ 8 years old - VGN-AW230J by Sony, I kept the laptop because it has a beautiful large screen 18 inches 1080p and competes very well with latest laptops with 1080p screens, though you cannot really play fast games on it as the graphics on this is GTX960 mobile. I am very happy with the upgrade, initially it started very hot but after another reboot the temp did not raise that much. Of course it is 10W TDP more than P8600 but the fans in this laptop can handle it very well.Read full review

I needed more power for my music works, so I searched for the best CPU in the Core 2 Duo line, which my existing computer supports (Asus X5DIN). It's a perfect CPU, as it has an amazing speed (3.06 GHz) which is great for music and intensive single-threaded works, massive cache lower overall load (6MB), very very small package and very power friendly (well, it's just about 40W TDP). One great extra feature, as I also run virtual machines on my laptop, is the presence of the VT-x extension, which will allow you to run 64-bit guest operating system at a higher overall performance. I had an Intel Core 2 Duo P7450, but I constantly get an overloaded error message because the CPU couldn't keep up... but not anymore with the T9900.
I've become rather attached to my HP Pavilion DV6 1330ca laptop. It has served me well, capably upgrading from Win7 to Win10. After upgrading my RAM and the hard drive to a SSD, it seemed time to bump up the CPU. Some research determined that this CPU was the max possible for my Duo 2 T6600 CPU. After upgrading my BIOS and other files for the motherboard, I powered down and followed the service instructions from HP. This CPU certainly bumped up my performance, it is not blazing, but certainly within what I expected. I should be happily plugging away for another two years before looking to retire my faithful laptop to that great e-Heaven in the sky.

The T9900 is a Penryn dual core processor for the socket P. It has a core clock speed of 3.06GHz. It is reliable, cheap and runs fairly cool. Apparently, it can be overclocked fairly well, although I have not tried to do this. I bought the cpu to breath a little more life into my Dell E6500, which is also reliable and cheap. A great processor and I would recommend anyone with a socket P laptop to try it.
