my laptop is lenovo SL400 , GM 45 chipset , socket P
SL400 is fine to run the T9900
i am thinking about upgrade the cpu from core 2 duo to core 2 quad such as Q9000
i have heard that core 2 quad need more " electricity" to work
my question is
what will it happen if the cpu request more power than the motherboard could supply
does it just halt ?
or will it burn the board?
thx advance!

PS:
data of the cpu
Q9000
Minimum/Maximum power dissipation ? 16.54 Watt (Deeper Sleep mode) / 74.35 Watt
Thermal Design Power ? 45 Watt
V core ? 0.9V - 1.25V
Processor operates at 0.85 Volt - 1.1 Volt in Low Frequency mode

T9900
Minimum/Maximum power dissipation ? 16.54 Watt (Deeper Sleep mode) / 57.07 Watt
Thermal Design Power ? 35 Watt
V core ? 1V - 1.25V

may help people give advice

laptop specs http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-75229

the 2 processors in question
http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/828/Intel_Core_2_Duo_Mobile_T9900_(Socket_P)_vs_Intel_Core_2_Quad_Mobile_Q9000.html

seeing you would be going from 2 cores @ 3.06GHz to 4 cores @ 2.0GHz
what software would you be using on the lappy?

it is like extreme sport Smile
if Q9000 work
then X9100 is possible

the lenovo site's data is not update
it say SL400 support only 4 G totally (2+2)
but actually 8G ram (4+4 )is fine
and T9900 is not mentioned by the lenovo site.it does work.

i plan to try Q9000 because it is possible to get one around 60-70 USD here
and my current CPU is T5870(2G )

another question is cpu not recognized by the bios
however , i think it can be overcome by adding microcode to bios
