WTB: Mobile Core 2 Duo (or Quad) T9600, Q9000 etc

Looking for a higher end chip to upgrade the missus's laptop from a T4400. Let me know if you have something higher end of that type (1066 FSB, 2.4ghz+)

Thanks

 

Are the P series cpus any good to you ?

more specifically http://ark.intel.com/products/37266/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-P9600-6M-Cache-2_66-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB

 

P series would be fine, I overlooked those in my search it would seem.

 

Would the CPU pulled from an iMac have the same socket? I believe I have one here somewhere that may fit the bill though I can't remember offhand which C2D it was.

 

Yes, they are the same socket (assuming its actually socketed and not BGA)

 

In the iMacs they are; the ZIF socket uses a screw type mechanism to secure the CPU in place. I'll dig through my boxes of random parts and see if I still have it.
