Fujitsu Siemens Processor Upgrade Question!

Hi,

I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2540 running on Intel Pentium Dual Core T2330 Mobile processor running at a clock speed of 1.6Ghz. After opening my laptop i realized that it is obviously replaceable.
I want to upgrade to a higher processor particularly within the range of the model t8100, t8300, and maybe higher models. Im sure about the t8100 processor since some people have already done this but i need to know about the higher models and how to find out which processor in general is compatible with my laptop.

Any help is appreciated.

in addition my laptop can handle upto only 800Mhz FSB for the processor.

ok i need a favour from you and i hope you dont mind.

I did some research on the Fujitsu siemens website and i came to know that there is one another model that is identical in everything except the processor. Mine is the Amilo Pi 2540 with the Dual core and the Amilo Pi 2550 comes with the Intel Core 2 Duo T8300. I have checked the data sheets from the FSB website and compared them and yupe it seems like that they both have the same chipset. Even the FSB technical support did mention that its possible to upgrade to t8300 but they didnt give me further details on "how".

I have to confess since i get greedy with wanting more performance now i wanna upgrade to the T9500 but not sure either.

oh yea and the favour is
Can you download the data sheet for both the models and figure out whether the upgrade is a guaranteed success? thanks either way.

actually i have considered the hard drive and ram as well. Currently these 3 upgrades are prioritized.
The ram is currently only 1GB x 2 running at 553Mhz each so that needs to go and get replaced with 2gbx2 ram modules running at 667Mhz and since the HD is a 250GB seagate with 5400rpm that will get replaced to with 7200RPM. Im probably going to buy a portable HD case and use the old HD as a portable hard drive so either way i dont lose anything.

I was also looking forward to replacing the Graphics Card which is just an Entry level HD2400 with a newer model. Atleast a mainstream. Unfortunately even though it uses a PCI express slot it is wired differently and designed in a way that only that specific dimension would fit inside the laptop. I dont understand why they would do such a harsh thing. Even the second Ram slot is not user accessible and hidden well under the keyboard which althogether doesnt make sense. Why make one accessible and the other placed in a God forsaken place.

Yeah probably a good way to keep you coming back to them and rip you off. Last i went to one of their dealership for the T8300 upgrade and they wanted to charge me 2100Dhs which is somewhere around 575 US Dollars and for the RAM upgrade of 4GB costs 190Dollars. Talk about that.
Anyways thanks alot for your advice.

hey i have already added 4GB of DDR2 667Mhz Ram from transcend at a good price. Around 46Dollars. And if anyones wondering i have checked and they are genuine with a lifetime warranty. Next upgrade is the Hard drive as many people are claiming that it is the biggest bottleneck in the system.

Thats the problem. Im not sure what processors my bios would support. The People at Fujitsu Siemens doesnt even know what im talking about. Last time i personally went to the FSC Service shop and i met with the Technical Support person and i asked him about it and he says he doesnt know. I asked him if he knows anything about INtel Chipset PM965 and what it supports and he didnt reply. However, i know that the bios and version number on the Amilo pi 2550 is exactly the same only that model uses an Intel T8300. In my laptops catalogue it mentions that my laptop can supprt upto T8100 but i dont wanna just stop at at that.

btw.i forgot to mention that i wanted to know if it supports the T8300, T9100 and the T9500?
