Question: 800MHz FSB Merom & 945PM chipset

[White Widow]

I have an Asus S96J notebook with the 945PM chipset. Currently it has a 1.8GHz Core Duo installed. I want to upgrade to a Core 2 Duo (merom) chip. I noticed that the 800MHz FSB meroms (e.g. T7500, T7700) are much cheaper than the 667Mhz FSB meroms. Will the 945PM chipset support these chips? Will it run them underclocked at 667MHz FSB?

Thanks,
Aaron

This would be something to email Asus about. It will vary mobo to mobo.

It will not work. 667 is socket M, 800 is socket P.

Good point - probably should have checked that out before I posted! At least I have the excuse that it's 1:30AM here in China...guess I'll start trolling around Zhong Guan Cun for a used T7600
