Dell CPx J CPU upgrade?

Kc2iLq · July 13th, 2004, 03:59 PM

I have a deal going with some guy to trade some PC parts for a Dell CPx-J with a 650MHz cpu, 256Mb ram, a 20Gb hdd, and some other stuff on the side. He says that the processor can be upgraded to 1GHz, but I can't seem to figure out which is the right CPU to use. I know that it's a PIII mobile chip, but are there different pin packages like with the desktop chips? Any help would be appreciated.

Does that laptop support speedstep technology? If so, you can probably upgrade.

Ok, I just found on the Dell site, that the Coppermine 750 is the fastest supported processor in the CPx-J. Not much of a jump for you.

Could you just do me a favor and post the link to where you see that? The guy I am dealing with seems certain it can take a 1GHz CPU. Thanks!

This was found on a search of the Lat Upgrade board, for "cpx cpu":
