You don't want to use the more powerful T series CPUs unless you don't plan to use it mobile anyway because the battery life with them CPUs is awful. I own the higher end e6500 with the Nvidia graphics that came from factory with a T series CPU. I switched it out for a slightly less powerful p9700 (2.8 ghz) and I get about an hour more when on battery and best of all noticed very little if any performance hit in day to day tasks. If anything going from a 7,200 rpm hard drive to an ssd will also net a great boost and battery savings. Nearly 10 years old now it still works just fine for day to day tasks.
+Enrico Barsanti Just some minor surface dust, so no big deal. If it was clogged, then yes, I would clean it. The pro of this upgrade is that the P series is much more energy efficient than the T series, so less heat output, better battery life :)

I really like channels like yours dealing with pc, laptop, assembly of those, upgrades :D I really like to assemble and disassemble computers and hardware channels like yours allow me to see things I could not afford, as your wonderful collection of laptops (although I prefer desktop PCs :P)

Hello! I have this same processor, on the same laptop, but I have a little problem the same, P8700 I think, only goes to 1.5GHz and not 2.5GHz. and you don't have Speedstep activated. Disable it and it remains the same.
***** The i3 and i5 utilise a different socket. The E5500 will take pretty much all Socket P CPU's. The best one being the T9600. The T9xxx series has 6MB cache and a 35W TDP. They will work fine. The P8xxx series has 4MB cache and a 25W TDP, in case you want to go for a more power efficient approach.
I have a Dell latitude e5500 as well with a Core 2 Duo P8600 Any CPU Recommendations To Play Something Like CS:GO? Also RAM And Storage If Necessary CPU : Core 2 Duo P8600 STORAGE : 74GB HDD RAM : 4GB DDR2
This will run up to a T9900 but the T9600 is the best value chip. The P8700 is good too if battery life matters to you. Any DDR2 2GB module should work, 800MHz is recommended. Any SATA SSD will also work.
Yes, the T9600 should work. Games will not be possible, it does not have a graphics card but just onboard video, which cannot even run Minecraft half-decently.
Hello, thank you for your video, Id like to upgrade my dell e5500 mainly for fun. Right now it has the T7250 would I see significant performance increase if I upgraded it to T9600? I can buy this for about 12-15 pounds so wondering if it is worth it. Also my BIOS is '' A17, 9/27/2011 '' is this version fine or would I have to update it? Thanks - Simeon
Hi, the T9600 has more cache and higher clock speeds, which should be very noticeable. Also add a cheap SSD while you're at it. BIOS date is fine, as the CPU in question is older than that (2008).
Dank voor je reactie. Ik had in eerste instantie geen BIOS update gedaan voor het vervangen, daarna oude CPU erin en wel update gedaan van de BIOS. Dat hielp helaas niet. De SATA instellingen, moet ik die aanpassen met de nieuwe CPU erin of de oude? Ik heb windows 10 btw.
I have this laptop with the new cpu you just installed already in it. I'm running windows 10 pro at 32 bit bit I'm trying to update to 64bit. I think this is possible? The bios isn't updated I've just found out and from the Dell website the newest update was 2013 and it's A19 but I'm running A15. It won't update the bio and I'm thinking it's because Dell website says windows 10 isn't supported but it does run fine. I can't get the 64 bit windows to update either. It says it's not compatible but this is a X64 based. What and I missing here? Any suggestions?
Hi, To install 64-bit Windows, you need to do a full reinstall. You can’t upgrade 32 to 64. I’d also not recommend flashing the BIOS from Windows if possible, as it has a higher chance of bricking your board. Sticking to A15 is probably fine.
@@nelizmastr thank you so much for responding. I'm doing this for crypto investing. Probably not the smartest thing but I just need it to work for now. I've read forums that stated 64 bit windows 10 ran very sluggish. But they were older threads and I couldn't find anything newer. I'm thinking maybe windows has the proper drivers now but also I'm worried about my hard drive being fat 32. Do you think the mobo will handle this just to run exchanges? I won't be going to any other sites other than very secure places so I'm not really worried about picking up something from shady sites but I don't want to throw this laptop in the trash when it doesn't work either.

+Omar Bull-47 No, these only support Core 2 Duo. Core 2 and the Core i series never existed on the same socket. You can never know for sure which CPU will be supported. Just google for known working configurations.

Hi, the 5550 is a much newer machine with very different hardware. I have no experience with those machines. Rule of thumb is that anything 6th gen Intel or newer is fully non-upgradable. Most 5550 models have an i5-5200U, all U chips are soldered and cannot be upgraded.
@@nelizmastr i opened up my system properties and looked at the CPU number and it's an I7-5600U @ 2.6 Does that mean it's soldered or no? I would hate for it to be soldered.

i was thinking of turning one of these into a sleeper pc, is there any sort of better motherboard i can get for it as i can tell that i aint gonna get much better graphics as its soldered or above 4gb of ram
Beats me too. They used some derivative of socket 478/479 with vastly different support. Generally, Core 2 suport was on either socket M or socket P (Merom and Penryn 65 vs 45nm node) and even with socket P, some chipsets support 800FSB while others go beyond that.
Ik heb exact dezelfde cpu gebruikt als in de video voor de upgrade, echter de laptop wil niet opstarten. Als ik de bios open zie ik de nieuwe cpu wel. Enig idee hoe dit kan?
Heb je de BIOS wel eerst geüpdatet naar de nieuwste versie voordat je de CPU hebt vervangen? Ook kan het zijn dat je BIOS zichzelf gereset heeft vanwege de nieuwe CPU. Speel even met de instellingen van de SATA controller. Die wil nog wel eens naar IDE schieten i.p.v. AHCI, of andersom als je XP draait.
Not all Latitudes have upgradable CPUs. The E5500 and E5510 do as they are old enough to have sockets. Starting with the 2nd generation Intel CPUs some are soldered, some arent. Starting with 5th gen, all CPUs are soldered.
There is no real GPU to speak of. there's just the integrated Intel solution in the chipset. No upgrade possibilities. If you want a GPU in a similar laptop, you'd have to get an E6500 with dedicated Nvidia Quadro.
agree that is true !!! but in teory it is possible.. BTW I have a password in bios in my e5500 could you tell me- could I delete it in any way , i start reset a cmos battery - it sat in fridge about 2 hours and nothing , it is another way ???

and also if I was wondering if I should get a better cooling system since it most likely will generate more heat
Master Corvette
Heat output is dictated by TDP, not just clock speed. The T9900 is a 35W chip, which the E5500 supports. No extra cooling is required.
