Already? How "old" is it?

 

Why would you want to upgrade that CPU?

Post something constructive. He is asking for an appraisal, not a critique of his spending habits.

I'd say around anywhere from $200-225 depending on where you sell. Not sure what the market is for this type of an upgrade.

Pretty hard to sell socket 479 CPU since most people doesn't have that anymore. I'd say $200 max if you want to sell quick

 

This processor is less than 4 months old. Socket 479 is what is used by all new notebooks and anything with Centrino.

 

Just out of curiosity, why the upgrade? What notebook does your dad have?

 

It is an IBM (Lenovo) T60p. It has a Core 2 Duo T2500, 2GB DDR2-667 (2:1 ratio), ATI FireGL 256MB PCIe graphics card, 100GB 7200RPM drive (soon to be upgrade to a 32GB NAND SSD drive). It is a pretty nice notebook.

 

If I am not wrong, that's not even Core 2 Duo to begin with. That's the older 32-bit Core Duo. The Core 2 Duo's are T5xxxs and T7xxxs. The T2xxxs are the older Core Duo. It's dual core but not Core 2 Duo.

 

Yeah its a yonah core. I say $200

Opps. I was thinking about the Core 2 Duo when I put it in. Typo, fixed.
