This is a cpu made by Intel in 2007 as an upgrade to laptops build around 2006-08 . So if you bought your laptop around that time , and you are not satisfied with your CPU performance and want an upgrade this might be the perfect one for you . However you must first check: 1) Your motherboard socket to be Socket M / Socket mPGA478MT . PGA stands for Pin Grid Array where as BGA stands for Ball Grid Array . That means PGA has pins and can be upgraded easy , where as BGA needs trained personnel . 2) Your motherboards Revision and BIOS compatibility . Considering this was the latest ( and greatest ) CPU for this socket , try verifying that other people have installed it and it worked . So after you have verified that you can install this CPU , there is only one question remaining . Is it worth it ? Well it depends . After some testing around I have come to the following conclusion . If you have a low performing CPU , like a T2400 that does not even support 64-bit and has only 2mb cache , than you will probably notice the speed gain . However if you already have a T7xx like a T7200 (that is dirt cheap by the way) , than its probably not worth it . I will give this product 4/5 stars , because even in 2015 it costs 40$ or more . And that a bit too steep for a ~7 years old laptop upgrade . On the other hand , in some cases its worth it .Read full review
After receiving my actual order somehow the chip wouldn't power or function. After clearly looking at carefully I noticed a small pin was missing on the far right corner of the processor.Maybe that's the reason it didn't work.However the seller shipped me a replacement at no cost.I can honestly say that I'm very thankful and satisfied with dealing with the merchant.I will give him a great review solely because of his great customer service and that he answered my messages very fast and on time.Great merchant ,and great business . Now my dell machine is working way better and utilizing the extra ponnies to do my music files while being productive at the same time. T7600 INTEL 2.33 ghz processor is supreme.Great upgrade to a pre-existing laptop.

I don't know if the processor worked or not. I installed the new processor in an iMac 2006, but have not been able to get anything to work. Prior to installation, the iMac worked, but the processor swap was so involved that many things could have gone wrong. I am basically junking the iMac because it's a tedious process to swap parts.

The processor will give a little more pep to your laptop over the 7200, but not much. The installation of it was much greater and time consuming since you had to take a part the computer and many things to get to it. The Ram and SSD Drive make the difference, but for the cost it was a good buy.

I made a straight swap-out repacement of an Intel Core Duo T7300 processor for a T7600 in my HP dv9008tx notebook. Moderate improvement for video encoding conversion and H.264 playback; good improvement for MS Office and Adobe applications. A worthwhile upgrade in the pricing life of this processor series I think. Coupled with optimal high-speed RAM and, in particular, an SSD for the OS drive, this upgrade to your notebook/laptop will provide a functional responsiveness improvement that will minimize your PC frustration issues for at least 2 to 3 years to come.

Rated much higher than the 2.16ghz alternative in speed tests, and since you can't overclock the speed really counts.

Good upgrade for an old Toshiba Qosmio F30. Almost 30% better overall performance. But, in order to replace the former processor, I had to completely disassemble the laptop.

I had just bought Windows 10 for the laptop prior to the CPU upgrade. Upgraded the memory, installed a. 240GB SSD. It ran fast prior to the CPU upgrade. It runs even smoother now. BTW: I was opt’ed to replace the internal fan and cleaned the cooling radiators, because I knew it would run warmer. So far the old laptop is running very well.

Relatively easy to install, HP 530, great upgrade for an old laptop combined with 64GB SSD and 4 GB RAM.
