Hello,
I'm wanting to upgrade my processor from an i3 330m (CPUID 20652) to a i7 620m (CPUID 20652) or i5 580M (CPUID 20655)
but I am unsure if the BIOS is already equipped with the needed microcode.
I am using this already modified BIOS for unhidden menus and GPU overclock.
Is it possible to have the latest microcode for 20652 and 20655? (seems it may be a tight fit)
and this will allow me to use all 3, correct? 

Also could the process be explained to me? CBROM195 hangs upon processing and I failed at hex editing (a million errors upon attempting DOS flashing, so I aborted before the flash) I would love to be able to help others.

On a side note there seems to be duplicate microcode entries in the original unmodified BIOS, is this normal?

Original BIOS 
Modded BIOS (menu unlock + GPU overclock)

Any help is greatly appreciated !

It's Phoenix BIOS, not Award.
It already has microcode for CPUID=0x20652 & 0x20655.
I think this laptop can boot all CPU for Socket G1 with Arrandale core.

I know it is a Phoenix, I was under the impression CBROM could do both.
Could it still be updated?
Users have stated in this thread that , for example the i5-540M causes an error upon boot and F11 key press is required to continue and features possibly disabled.
There is a mod here but it does not have the OC on the GPU and the upload is expired.

Thank you for your time  Smile

20652 is outdated, 
could you simply update this one? or brief procedure/tools so I can do so?
I ask only because I researched before I make a purchase and I seen a few problems.
20655 is up to date I made a mistake sorry 

Thanks for your help.

I'm not interested in that. You haven't new CPU.

I will buy the CPU and come back if I have a problem. I'm sure if there is it can be fixed.
