By the way-

The signaling logic to the clocking IC is

FSA FSB FSC
667Mhz 1 1 0
800Mhz 0 1 0
1067Mhz 0 0 0

,but no jumper is installed on the main board, so this would be a firmware related issue!

I intend to put a cooling system so Im not worried about the heating problem. and I will try the throttlestop program, but right now Im in ditches with this processor. I know that windows took the drivers I can see it through the back door. So something else is preventing the GM45 from operation. I have pursued motherboard jumpers as a fix to the 800Mhz to 1067Mhz FSB change and found no resolve there so I know its BIOS related. I would run Clockgen as an ultimatum, but am not yet convinced of its capabilities. The BIOS Toshiba provided is proprietary at best and doesn't have great functionality as the desktop Pheonix-Award BIOSs' have... So, if anyone knows the answer to this challenge it would be greatly appreciated. Even if it is a new BIOS download I could use? Im pretty positive that the Parity bit selection' has something to do with it? Awaiting comment... Has anyone read the last reply?

My current situation is that I purchased a q9100 to go into my toshiba l5o5, which has a T6400. I get a black screen when I boot (and no its not the screen cable!!!), I have looked everywhere online and found that it should be fully compatible, especially since both are penryns. Toshiba us does not have a bios update, and my laptop won't take the UK updates. furthermore, under comparison the two chips are slightly different as far as 45w to 35w, and the Q9100 has no parity bit. Does anyone know the fix to the problem? By the way the windowa to the drivers, and I can see the screen in safemode. what is the fix im missing here? I have been reading the posts.

A new update from my old trusty T9900! I've noticed that yeah, my old trusty T9900 was getting a bit "slow" and I had a friend with a i7 portable that was faster than mine and I was thinkin' about selling the old workhorse and getting a faster portable also....until....enter SSD! :) Bought the Intel 320 model, and holy crap, my trusty old T9900 is on steroids! :) If you've got a trusty Core2Duo and you're thinkin' buying new, just plug in an SSD instead, it works very fine with my Acer, since mine is a big model it has 2 slots for SSD (120Gb for OS) and an trusty HD (1TB) for all my music and films. Seriously, it runs so much smoother than I think I'm gonna still use my T9900 for at least another year since it runs all programs well! Anyone else who has made this upgrade? What are your thoughts? I'm not saying the programs "work" faster, but really, it is a big difference when the OS runs boots much faster and programs start much quicker. Hi guys!

I have one in my 14" Notebook too. All you need to use it, is Throttlestop. This tiny little tool lets you control the multipliers and also gives you the opportunity to select the VID for the desired speed. Very important for battery use, because the X9100 has some disadvantages compared to the T9900. One is that it doesnt power down as deep as the T9900 and that it doesnt support VIDs lower than 1V. If you know this there is no more disadvantage. Have fun! Heyho,
