Intel Core Duo T2300 or better (Centrino Duo)

[orakle22]

I recently had the unfortunate luck of cooking my Dell E1505's CPU somehow. Dell will replace the CPU for the princely sum of $500+tax (gee, thanks) but I'd rather just fix it myself.

That said, I need to find an Intel T2300E (or better, T2400, T2500, T2700) Core Duo/Centrino Duo processor at a reasonable price. Doesn't matter if it's new or used or refurbed.

Thanks

Ones that sell "barebones" laptops like Asus/ MSI should be able to sell you OEM cpus.
