Replacement of original 1.66 Mhz CPU

Hi @ all,

Thanks to the great guides on this side I managed to replace 80 GB hard drive by 500 GB and increased the RAM to 2 GB. Thanks to all of the testers and writers!

Now I have the chance for possibly great deal, getting the T7500 CPU (2.2 Ghz) for a less than reasonable price. Looking at the Intel specs just bus speed (800 to original 667) and the voltages slightly differ. I guess bus speed doesn't matter because it will be limited to the systems 667.

Will the T7500 CPU work in this Mini model? Quick reply highly appreciated.

I have had every single version of these processors working in A1176 platform. The 1,1 model can be flashed to 2,1 and any processor used.

ok - here we go.

since we've had this topic yesterday - i can say somethig about that

the t7500 is a socket P (479) - the mini needs a Socket M (478)CPU (7200, 7400, 7600)

even if the cpu would fitted with an adaptor - it woul only have around 2ghz - and that would be to much trouble for this little gain.

i paid 80 usd for a almost new mini itx board - including the power supply, riser card and a t7400 cpu

thats 25% off the regular used ebay price for the cpu alone - so maybe you should look aout for some itx bundles - they are sometimes realy cheap to get.
