Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
The Intel SL53S @ 1GHz is the fastest possible CPU for T22.
You also need the specific T22 CPU fan with it.

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
Thank You very much for that info. It's funny I bought this unit from eBay got it for $14.95 it was being sold for parts although the person said it needed a hard drive but it worked. When I got it I put a 20 gig hard drive in it and it fired right up,the funny part of this is that it was listed as a T23 but the number on the back of unit says it's a T22. Again Thanks for the info.

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
If your machine has 2 USB ports, it's a T23. If there is only 1 USB port, it's a T20/T21/T22 model.

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
Thanks for the info guys if it was aT23 it would take a slightly faster chip. I can live with a 1ghz laptop my T21 is a good unit the T22 is a little faster @900mhz,so I'll pop it up to a 1Ghz machine.
Thanks again Dave W.

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
You also need to update the BIOS and ECP to the latest versions, otherwise the 1GHz CPU will not work.

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
Thanks I already have the most recent bios and all, now I just need to get the chip and I'm got me a 1ghz laptop for the cost and upgrades to my T21 plus $14.95 for the T22 minus what I get for the 2 T21's I have Oh yeah somehow I got an extra T21 minus everything memory, CPU, drives I mean it's gutted except the mobo is stiil there. So we have signs of life.

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
OK I got the SL53S P3 chip and i put it in and the unit fired up fine everything works fine the only problem is this is supposed to be a 1 Ghz. unit now right? Well according to Windows XP and CPU-Z it's running @693Mhz any ideas one this one? Your input will be greatly appreciated and I have the most recent bios installed. TY Dave W.
Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
Speedstep...maybe?
Collection = T430 - T500 - R400 - X300 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - R61 (15" SXGA+) - T60 - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P
Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
If BIOS sees it as 1Ghz you're OK. It's SpeedStep taking it down where it needs to be.Rockman99 wrote: OK I got the SL53S P3 chip and i put it in and the unit fired up fine everything works fine the only problem is this is supposed to be a 1 Ghz. unit now right?

Also, if your battery is dead or missing altogether, the machine will not run at full speed.

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
OK so the bios is seeing it as 1000 Mhz. so is there any way to alter speed step or am i stuck with it?
Thanks for the info funny they don't tell you about speed step or maybe I missed that in the manual.

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
As ajkula66 already mentioned, you also need a working battery to run at full speed!

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
There is a battery in it, granted it's not the best but it lasts for awhile the way I have it set,but most of the time when I use it it's on wall adapter.
Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
OK, so open 25 browser tabs and check whether the CPU speed has spiked...

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
Now why didn't I think of that, thank you my friend, I've got a bunch of stuff running right now and I just ran CPU-Z and she's running 998-999 Mhz.
Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
May I post a cont? I am considering a 1.13Ghz from a T23 in a T21 running at 800Mhz. Will the CPU chip socket match? Will have to u/d the BIOS.
Any other factors that may prevent this?

Re: Fastest Pentium 3 CPU for T22?
Thank you for the correction, I didn't look close enough.
So will a SL5CL chip (1.2 Ghz T23 chip) fit a SL5CK board socket? Bad mem sockets on 1.2 mobo. I think the screen is higher rez, but have yet to find out how to confirm.
