Yet more research, on wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_processors T7250 is socketP it says, I have SLA49 P8400 that I bought is also socketP it says, I have SLB3R. Maybe this new cpu is dead? Pressing power button, P8400 gets hot much faster than T7250, and shuts …

More research done. On intel page it says that T7250 is PPGA478, while P8400 is PGA478. So although it fits on socket like own, it could be incompatible electrically. Finding information on my laptop model is impossible, it's was a obscure producer than doesn't exist anymore. What are my safest …

But isn't L2-uncached ram still above hard drive in memory hierarchy, so why having more than 64mb in those chipsets is "bad"? The page says remove ram if you have more than 64mb.
