Need a quick question answered...Intel Experts do your thing...?
I am fairly knowledgeable about computers...so please...no silly answers.
I just need to know if Intel Processors (especially in the Penryn line) have an onboard memory controller like the new AMD processors now do. If so would it limit the amount of memory that could be installed? Or is that still controlled by the motherboard as it always has been. The reason I am asking is I am looking to drop this SLOW T2310 Pentium Dual Core (533mhz FSB 1MB L2) out of my laptop and upgrade to something like a T7500 Core2 Duo (800Mhz FSB 4MB L2) and I want to know if i will pick up a little better RAM capacity or will i be still stuck at 2GB.
Oh yeah...and before you say it can't be done....or I need to make sure that my motherboard will support the 800Mhz FSB...I have already checked it and my Motherboard will support 533/667/800 Mhz FSB....and already has support for Penryn processors....
I was afraid of that...At least I didn't go and waste any money on 4GB of RAM that I couldn't use. I guess the best I can do is a better processor and Max it out at 2GB of RAM. This 1MB L2 Cache is KILLIN me...I got spoiled with my desktop and the 2MB L2 and 6MB L3 Cache on my Phenom II and of course the 8GB RAM didn't hurt either...*Sigh* I guess my laptop was never meant to be State of the Art....
