I have a Toshiba Satellite M505-4940. Yea, the [censored] box haha. But I also have a T9500 Core 2 Duo laying around. It physically fits, same socket as the horrible T4200 that came with it. Same P socket and 800 FSB. The chipset is a GL40. Not so great I know, but Ive seen other laptops with the GL40 chipset running the T9500, with a bios mod for cpu support. The Lenovo G550 is one example and Ive seen other Satellite Pros that have bios support from Toshiba themselves. The bios for mine is currently updated to the latest version (2010 - v.2.50) file name smg2v250.exe. http://support.toshiba.com/support/model...xt=2346345
Is anyone willing to force this bios to accept the T9500 or if its been done, point me in the right direction? Im selling my Z97 ASUS mobo and 4790K in my main system to upgrade to the Z170 setup later on this year, and I want this laptop to grunt some basic work, no over clocking needed.
