The socket in my P100-102 mobo is PGA socket-M, Micro-FCBGA (FCPGA6) which the T7200 2GHz Core 2 Duo DOES fit in.
What I am uncertain about right now is voltage requirement (current T2400 1.83GHz Core Duo vs. T7200 2GHz Core 2 Duo). I wonder if the specific mobo in my P100-105 would support a (specific) Core 2 Duo in the first place .....
I have my Toshi disassembled right now (because the 7600Go burnt through) and am about to put it back together (with a refurbished mobo I could get hold of), so if there really was compatibility for a Core Duo --> Core 2 Duo upgrade, this would be the perfect time. The 1.83GHz has been running extremely silent and cool, so I don't have the slightest doubt that the 2x170MHz more would cause any temp. prob.
Competent input greatly appreciated
Cheers,
Bugs
UPDATE: now look-a-there: here's somebody who successfully upgraded his Notebook's Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz (same as mine) with the mobile Core 2 Duo T7200 2GHz which is used in at least three of the Toshiba Satellite P10x Laptops (making them 64 bit compatible). That guy is now running Window 64 very happily (on his Dell Inspiron E1505). I am getting more positive about this. Opinions?
