Hello to everyone,
I have a Acer Aspire 9300 Laptop and ı want to upgrade it’s CPU due to nostalgic reasons
Specs of my laptop are as below;
* Bios: Phoenix Technologies V.1.19 (It’s latest version which my motherboard support - obviously, it supports V.1.20 but it has a disadvantage that V1.20 does not support 4 gb ram that’s why ı am using V.1.19)
* I attached Bios V.1.19 files
*Bios V.1.19 - Relese Date: May 15, 2007
*CPU: AMD Turion 64 MK-36 (TMDMK36HAX4CM) 31 W
*CPU Relese Date: September 1, 2006
*Socket Type: Socket S1 (638)
*MotherBoard: Myallm
I want to buy one of the following processors but I am not sure which one will work.
1-) AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-66 (TMDTL66HAX5DM) 2.3 GHZ - Relese Date: May 7, 2007
2-) AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-68 (TMDTL68HAX5DM) 2.4 GHZ - Relese Date: Dec 19, 2007
I would appreciate it if you could tell me which AMD processor supported by the BIOS V1.19
Thanks in Advance

s1g1 only of course
only mcode in bios is cpuid 40F01
EDIT: Sorry, by bios file cant tell no more info, by generation i would bet till the TL-64 (90m), higher u may know already its 65m.
Hello,
Yes ı know service manual of Acer Aspire 9300 but as ı mentioned in my post I am planning to buy AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-66 or AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-68 and ı want to know which one of this AMD processors compatible with the BIOS V1.19
Best Regards
Does this mean it only supports "40F01" ?
Also, Is it possible to update the microcode of bios to be compatible with TL-66(TMDTL66HAX5DM) and TL-68(TMDTL68HAX5DM) ?
Current BIOS has support for Tyler core (65-nm) - https://browser.geekbench.com/geekbench2/496513
Microcode isn’t required for these CPUs.
Hello,
I see but why only 1 CPUID appears in the MCExtractor program?
Thanks
It’s AMD microcode. So one microcode can be suitable for many CPUID.
And in some cases microcode isn’t required at all.
Microcode in this BIOS is used for ES CPU only.
Does it only support up to TL-64 (65nm)? and Is it possible to check if it supports TL-66(90nm) and TL-68(90nm) as well?
No way, but real experiment only.
BTW: TL-66 and TL-68 use 65nm technology.
Hello,
First of all thank you very much for quick reply
Why it’s not possible?
Also, AMD TL66 & TL68 are very expensive in my country that’s why is it possible to add microcode to the BIOS if BIOS V.1.19 doesn’t support TL-66 & TL-68 processors that I want to run?
As I already said CPUs with Tyler core don’t require any microcode.
Thanks, I would like to ask one more question,
Bios V.1.19 Relese Date is May 15, 2007 but on the other hand TL-68 Relese Date is Dec 19, 2007.
So, TL-68 released after bios was released
Could this cause bios not to recognize Tl-68?
As I said: only real experiment can help.
Hello to everyone
Bios V.1.19 Relese Date is May 15, 2007 but on the other hand TL-68 Relese Date is Dec 19, 2007.
Bios V.1.19 files ==> https://www.mediafire.com/file/ts7jtuwps…-V1.19.zip/file
So, TL-68 released after bios was released
Could this cause bios not to recognize Tl-68? and if it’s not supportted by the bios, is there have any way to add TL-68 microcodes to Bios v.1.19?
