upgrade a cpu "T4200" with a "T9550"

[frariky]

Dear all,
is it possible to upgrade a cpu "T4200" with a "T9550"?

I can't see the cpu "t9550" listed under the "T4200" detailed webpage:

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium_Dual-Core/Intel-Pentium%20Dual-Core%20Mobile%20T4200%20AW80577GG0411MA.html

but I suppose this is not an exhaustive list?

Thank you

T9550 is a 1066 FSB CPU, your board needs to support it.

Thank you for your answer.
How do I now if the board will support it?
The board is a K70IO 1.0 (same name as per the laptop model).
Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 730i rev 1
Southbridge: NVIDIA nForce 730i rev 2

Theoretically, and I mean really theoretically your laptop should support a Core 2 Quad CPU.

Thanks for all your answers.
I've got a T9950 available here at home.
Shall I try to upgrade the T4200 with this or I may damage the board/cpu if it is not compatible?
Accirding to the list of gshv, the T9550 is present but does it mean I can safely proceed with this upgrade?
Thank you

Thank you,
now that I know I can’t damage the pc but it just may not boot, I’ll give it a go

I'd suggest checking the chipset your laptop uses (using tools like CPU-Z, HWINFO or AIDA64), PM45 and GM45 officially supports FSB 1066, but a lower end chipset may or may not, the older PM965 and GM965 only officially do FSB 800

I replaced it and everything works
