OT: Looking for a Pentium M765 (or maybe M780 - not sure it that will work)
I have a scope (not Tektronix or HP/K/A) that uses the BCM MX855 mobo with a
1.3 Celeron. I'd like to give a late life performance boost and an told a Pentium M765 will do the job and maybe even an M780 (though that may depend on BIOS levels). Can anyone help? If you also have stick on PC2700/PC3200 1GB Ram that would be great too! Thanks David |
David, here is the chip data. Lots of info to be found using a search. I have several Dell desktops and HP laptops from that era but you need to state if it is a desktop board or a converted laptop. The Dell desktops did use an M series processor even tho it was meant for mobile.?

I have the following CPU's spare if any of these will be of use:
1x SL6F9 - M705 1x SL7EG - M725 1x SL7SA - M740 2x SL7EN - M745 1x SL7V3 - M765 1x SL7VB - M780 I'm sure I could send one or two vaguely in your direction for the cost of shipping etc. :) (I'm in Japan, but it shouldn't cost too much for such a small parcel if you can't find anything locally) |
Thank you Jared, I've sent a pm to arrange shipping details etc..

But I can get Crucial brand 1GB on eBay for about ?5 ... I didn't know the price had dropped so far!

I will check what I have for ram when I get back in the lab. I have a few
boxes full of the stuff. Of many types. Eric On Fri, Jul 16, 2021, 11:33 AM David C. Partridge < david.partridge@...> wrote: But I can get Crucial brand 1GB on eBay for about ?5 ... I didn't know the |
The CPUs in question only come in one socket type!

AFAIK both the M765 and M780 are socket 478 which is what this board has.
