Hi, I have now tried with Astra32, SIW, Everest and Intels chipset utility
tool but all of them give different results and Intels tool give alot of
different chipsets.

So I'm looking for a tool that will give the correct chipset of my laptop.

I thinks its 945GM but I have to be sure.

Also if someone know a tool that will tell which socket is the laptop:)

Thanks:)

The socket type is a physical attribute. In a laptop, there is only
room for certain kinds of sockets. You can use the following link, to
learn what options are available for the various Intel processors.

Hi Paul, thanks for the answer, unfortunately CpuZ cant make a precise
answer either since it claims that it is i943/940GML. Its not both, so i
still need a programme that will tell me excactly what is in the laptop:)

A supporttech from Toshiba(actually a seperate company doing support for
Toshiba) claimed it was 943GML but I cant get that to be true with the
drivers installed.

Toshiba takes forever to come out with new driver where Intel allready have
them available, as long as I know what chipset it is.

Unfortunately Intels chipset util says this:

Detected Chipset:
Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Chipsets or Intel(R) 945GT Express
Chipset

Not very clear about what it precisely is, but it does not say 943GML.

I dont have alot of confidense in the supporttech since there is alot he
should know that he doesn't, dont get me wrong he is a nice guy but it seems
that he is not really technical and that he just reads what it says on the
screen.

The datasheet for the chipset is here. If you look for "Device Identification"
in the document, not all the chipsets can be separated by having a
different enumeration. That could account for CPUZ not providing an
answer. It appears one differentiator, is a different clock operating
speed for the graphics core in the Northbridge.

I think I'd start with the CPUZ "About" tab, and dump the registers.
That will give you a cpuz.txt file.

For example, in the datasheet, section 5.1.33, it talks about the
CAPID register contents. Perhaps that can be used to figure out
which chip it is.
