Thread Starter 
Does anyone know what CPUs I can put in an M35X? It currently has a Celeron M, and I am looking to put in a .09 Pentium M to get me some more battery life and give it some performance to last me for a while. Am I limited to 400mhz fsb chips? If so there is a 2.0Ghz 400fsb Pentium M I believe, would this work? Is there anything faster I could put in here?

Yes you are limited to the 400MHz FSB chips. You can physcially put a 533 in there and it will work, but it down clock pretty heavily (IIRC a 533MHz FSB 2.0 in there would run at about 1.5 - 1.6 when the FSB is downclocked to 400MHz).

The ideal cpu to put in there would be one from the same ones that everybody is using for the pinmods. In other words a Pentium M whose part number ends in 5 (like the 735, 745 or 755). There is a 2GHz cpu in the series (the 755) and there's even a 2.1 (the 765) but the performance difference between the 2 won't be that much in comparison to the price difference between them.
