Cool thanks that's good info, I guess it means it can be done...! I just found some info on Wikipedia about this, here it is:
Montevina platform (2008)
The codename Montevina refers to the fifth-generation Centrino platform, now formally named Centrino 2 to avoid confusion with previous Centrino platforms. It was scheduled for release at Computex Taipei 2008, which took place on June 3–7, 2008,[10] but was delayed until July 15, due to problems with integrated graphics and wireless certification.[11]
"Processors - Socket P / Micro-FCPGA / Micro-FCBGA
* a second-generation Intel Core 2 Duo (codenamed Penryn) 45nm processor with 800-1066 MT/s FSB with clock speeds ranging from 2 GHz to 3.06 GHz, also featuring SSE4.1 support, which adds 47 new instructions to SSSE3. It was planned to consume no more than 29W, compared to Merom's and first-generation Penryn's 34W TDP. But after release only a few models (P series) have 25W TDP and the rest (T series) still have 35W TDP, besides the Q series (Quad core) TDP is 45W.
I'm not sure though what does all this means exactly?? Does it mean that my mother board can actually have a CPU with a 45W TDP without over heating, without having to change the heat sink for more cooling and just fixing the BIOS so it works?
2 Intel Mobile Quad core laptop CPU's would meet these specs above: the Q9100 (SLB5G), 2.2Ghz, TDP 45W. And the QX9300 (SLB5J), 2.53Ghz, TDP 45W.
I saw those 2 CPU's on e-bay installed in a HP HDX18t laptops witch got the same platform as my XPS Studio 16. So no doubt in my mind it does work on my platform...
I can change the CPU, it's easy, but fixing up the BIOS so it works is where my knowledge stops, I have no clue.... But I can do it if I would have a written "How to" to follow.... Anybody know about this...?
