About this product
Product Information
The Intel Pentium M processor is based on a high performance, low power micro-architecture and includes several innovative features like an advanced branch prediction and data prefetching, Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 support, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology support, Intel MMX media enhancement technology support and advanced thermal monitoring capabilities. The Intel Pentium M processor is the next step towards achieving high mobile performance at very low power. This exciting new processor supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology at multiple operating points instead of two points support on existing processors. Real-time dynamic switching of the voltage and frequency between multiple performance modes is based on CPU demand. This occurs by switching the bus ratios, core operating voltage, and core processor speeds without resetting the system. Multiple Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology operating points enable optimal performance at the lowest power.Product Identifiers

Great upgrade for legacy ThinkPads, such as the R50e!
This processor is an excellent "legacy upgrade" for older ThinkPads, such as the ThinkPad R50e. The R50e was a mainstream/budget ThinkPad which sold for around $900 in 2004. It was originally equipped with a Celeron CPU at 1.4 GHz (I forgot the exact processor number) and 256 MB of RAM, if you got the base model. As you might suspect, it ran Windows XP slower than syrup, with constant disk thrashing as a result of a slow CPU, a tiny amount of RAM and a very slow 4200 RPM hard disk. With this CPU, 2 GB of RAM, a 128 GB micro SATA disk (with a suitable 44-pin IDE adapter) and a precisely correct Intel 855 chipset video driver (I think the last 4 digits of the only video driver which worked were '3722'), i was able to install Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, and it made this machine scream. This gave my R50e so much life that I can still use it for everyday tasks, including web browsing, office work, and network administration tasks. While it doesn't stream video very well, it is perfect for everything else.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Upgrade for IBM T42 Thinkpad
While not the same as a Cure 2 Duo, this 2.0GHz CPU gave me some breathing room on my THinkPad T42 that had a 1.7GHz CPU. The CPU isn't running at 100% most of the time anymore, closer to 65-70%, other than running anti-virus or anti-malware scans, as these consumes resources. Able to watch YouTube videos more w/out being so choppy, though not 100% perfect, a noticeable improvement. For $10 shipped from a reputable eBay seller (this part is important), the CPU is a fantastic deal. There is another that runs at 2.1GHz, though for $15 more, cannot justify the cost for only 0.1GHz more power. This item will be further appreciated by those running lesser powered CPU's than I was, some are in the 1.2-1.4Ghz range, these folks will get the most out of this CPU. A final word & caution, don';t get these confused with the models beginning with '7' & ending in '0', these won't work on many computers that has a model that has a CPU that starts with a '7' & '5', it's the 7 & 5 models that's needed due to the FSB. On the other hand, those who has a CPU beginning with 7 & ending with 0 will see a negative performance, as the CPU will clock down below the rated specs (again, has to do with the FSB), so don't cheat yourself out of performance id running say a Dothan 760 to a 755. Lastly, use a good thermal paste to do the job of keeping the CPU cool, after cleaning the CPU & Heatsink with 91% alcohol. Arctic Silver 5 is the best around, use only a very tiny amount, spread it with a old credit (or similar) card & it should be just a glaze, reinstall the CPU & tighten in a criss cross pattern, not tightening all the way at first, use 4-5 rounds, then a final snug. Once installed, make sure that the computer is running good, then download the latest version of Prime95, let it run for no less than 12 hours (the Arctic Silver 5 needs this to cure), and preferably 24 if possible, make sure the main battery is removed to prevent overcharging (constant topoff charging) that'll eat away at lifespan. This will provide a good curing of the paste, although it takes a total of 200 hours to finally cure, the rest can be performed by normal usage of the computer. Do not cheap out on thermal paste, while I use & recommend Arctic Silver 5 (also known as AC5), MX-4 is also good, what I was using before AC5, and takes less cure time, though higher temps, which many of these notebooks with this CPU is bad at, running hot. Quality paste will prevent this. Am 100% satisfied with the Intel Pentium M 755 that I purchased, met my needs perfectly. CatVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Works 100% but still not fast enough for 2015 usage
This was purchased to give my Thinkpad a bit of a speed up from its Celeron based processor. Whilst the computer got generally quicker, It still didn't allow me to watch Youtube videos smoothly. With a Youtube video running at almost any resolution, the CPU has 100% utilisation and makes the video stutter every few seconds. So whilst I have no complaints about the product. I have just come to terms that what we do online now is so much different than 10 years ago.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Significant improvement for less than $10
Got this CPU for a sluggish Dell Inspiron B130 laptop with a 1.6GHZ/1Mb celeron M 380. Swapping the processor on this model is incredibly easy, just take your time, keep every thing clean and use good thermal paste ( I can get a small tube for $2 at a local computer repair shop). For about $20 more I could have gotten a pentium M 765 , 2.1Ghz processor, but it seemed the small additional performance gain was not worth the extra cost. As it turned out, for less than $10 I have a significantly better working computerVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

great upgrade for old thinkpads
i bought this cpu for my old thinkpad r51 to upgrade from a slow 1.3 ghz celeron anyone who has this laptop i would recommend upgrading the cpu it makes it so much more useable in 2018Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Speeded up a Thinkpad T40 about a third, still not a speed demon, or comparable to even a 10 year old laptop

Great upgrade for your early 2000's retro laptop on Windows XP.
Good CPU upgrade for you, if your retro laptop is limited to 400 of Front Side Bus. I had a Pentium M 1.6Ghz before, with 1mb of cache, i upgraded to this one at 2Ghz and 2mb of cache, because the 2.1Ghz version of it, which is the fastest Pentium M with 400FSB, is a lot more expensive but not worth spending the extra money for 100Mhz more.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Pentium M
First off I installed this a few years ago into my Dell Inspiron 2200. That machine is the most easy laptop to upgrade! Going from a Celeron to a Pentium M made a big difference. That & replacing the OEM hard drive. Oh, don't forget the ram DDR1. Now that laptop is more of a portable media player. DVD's & MP3'sVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
