Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read this message.
I have a Toshiba "Qosmio" G50 with a P7350 2.0 GHz CPU + 4 Gigs of RAM

I really do not know the technical data on the machine such as FSB or Max RAM etc., Instead of building my own machine I took the lazy way out and am paying the fiddler now.

If you are familiar with laptops could you tell me what CPU upgrade would be compatable?
I am looking to get higher than 2.4 GHz if possible.
I have heard of a T9800 (2.9 GHz.) or something like that.
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Rick
 
Find the FSB (Front-side Bus) speed and pinout for the P7350 2.0 GHz CPU and make sure the replacement CPU matches these specs
 
I hope you're prepared to disassemble that laptop; it's gonna be pretty hard to install the new CPU once you get it. That laptop model seems to be specialized too (it apparently comes with a Cell processor), so I'd be wary of any CPU upgrade you get.

If you do it, have a professional install it; your chipset seems to support the P9700 and the T9600, both of which are within the range you're looking for.
 
Thank you both for the very informative information on my laptop's CPU upgrade.
The information is very helpful and appreciated.
Thanks again,
Rick
