windows xp on ivybridge/sandybridge based cpus?

[legacyfan]

will windows XP run good on any of these? I'm planning on updating my cpu In an old fujitsu lifebook s710 to a pentium 6100. 1st generation cpu and i've been doing lots of research on this and can't find anything about It so my question Is will It run on It? If anyone could please help with this It would be much appreciated https://www.ebay.com/itm/224345849948?c ... ae2f5a90fa also here is the cpu on eBay for reference

That laptop model is declared compatible with XP:

Is the question only related to the new processor?

In itself the processor seems compatible with XP.:

So the question is if specifically you can replace that specific processor on the specific laptop?

yes I was wondering if the new cpu would still be compatible with windows xp on that laptop

I think (but do not quote me on this) that it may work, though I don't see the actual scope of this replacing of the processor, the notebook has probably a Core i3 or i5, there shouldn't be much difference in speed/performance replacing the original processor with a Pentium 6100, they seem very similar, at least on this comparison:

Maybe if it has a Celeron, there would be some improvement, but I doubt it will be much, if any:

Also the Fujitsu BIOS might be locked to the default processor installed in factory, clock speed of the P6100 seem to be same as the Celeron, but different from i3 and i5.

IMHO all in all such an upgrade (which seems more like a same-level-grade) could be risky/problematic (if possible at all) without bearing any noticeable advantage.

Thanks @jaclaz for all the help and I guess I'll just buy a new i5-560m to put back in it again and run it with that and do a ram upgrade and an ssd upgrade (if possible)
