Processor Upgrade on Satellite Pro SP 2100

Hi all.
I have a Satellite Pro SP 2100 laptop with a 1.5 GHz Celeron processor (SL6FN).
Its getting a bit long in the tooth so I decided to buy a 2.0GHz Pentium Mobile processor - SL6FK with 512KB L2 Cache. I researched on the intel processor finder and the CPU-World website to see if this processor would be compatable - it seemed hardly any difference, same pin number, same socket but when I installed it all i get is a continuous beep on power on and no Toshiba Logo.
I had to go down to a 1.8GHz Celeron which is a bit quicker but hardly the same as a full blown Pentium.
There IS a 2GHz Pentium Mobile processor version of the SP2100 - i assumed the harware would be identical but i am obviously wrong.
I did try flashing the BIOS to the latest version but to no effect. Is it a BIOS issue?
maybe the BIOS in my laptop with the SL6FN processor is not compatable with the new processor? And to think - me a Network Manager of 7 years!
Hope someone can help,
Alan.

Hi Alan_1066,
Wow, Satellite Pro 1200 is really an oldie... It seems that you already use it for years now and are you satisfied with it?
To be honest in my opinion a CPU upgrade is not sensibly. Don’t expect a strong performance boost, I think you will only notice the faster CPU in some benchmark programs but it will not improve the performance of Windows.
Read also the link posted by Jeka-IL…
If your notebook isn’t fast enough anymore, you should think about a new notebook. Satellite Pro 2100 uses a pretty old infrastructure, so unfortunately there is nothing what you can do.
