T60 supported CPU,s

[wintermoot]

got a T60 a while back and want to upgrade the CPU. The problem is that  I don't know what fits and what doesn't

[wintermoot]

alternativly can anybody tell me what socket the MOBO takes?

Well the T60 was offered with a T7200, T7400 and T7600 all having an FSB at 667Mhz. Before you upgrade I think it would a good idea to consider why you are upgrading. What CPU is in your T60 currently? If upgrading from a low-end CPU an upgrade to a T7xxx would be worth it, but lets say you want to upgrade from a T7200 to a T7600 I would advice you to avoid it and save the trouble, as the performance gain would be minimal.

I think the T60 CPU socket is Socket M.

Maybe you can find some useful information at http://www.thinkwiki.org.

The ThinkPad T60 uses socket M

T2300, T2400, T2500, T2600
T5500, T5600
T7200, T7400, T7600

are some of the supported CPU.

it currently runs a  T2400 processor so I think upgrading would be worth it. A bit of a stupid question but would a regular desktop version fit? or does it need to be special socketed version?

this is true, but the cpu chips are still easily available.
