Upgrade processor for t2060 on i945gm chipset

Basically, I was just wondering where I can find a list of compatible upgrades for the processor in my Dell Inspiron e1505.

It currently has a t2060 (intel pentium at 1.60 ghz) and cpu-z is telling me the mainboard chipset is i945gm. However, when I look at the compatible products->processors for the i945gm chipset on the intel website here

http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22816 http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22816

the t2060 isn't listed. Could I use any of the processors listed there that use the same socket type and FSB, or is there something else I need to take into account?

That sis a generci list of CPUs that can work with that chipset. Yu will need to check with dell for a final list as it will depend on the BIOS and the CPU microcodes in the BIOS as to whether they will all work or only some.

Thanks, I'll give send them a message. I am still curious why the t2060 isn't listed as compatible with the 945gm chipset on intel's site even though that is the cpu currently installed.
