This is not determined by the chipset.

c) Are following CPUs compatible?

This is not determined by the chipset...for the most part.

Notice any pattern? The chipset is able to support the specifications listed by VIA. But the chipset is not floating on air inside of your computer. There is a circuit board built around it, everything connects to the chipset through that circuit board. Therefore all of those questions are determined at the circuit board level (and system BIOS).

A chipset might support 400MHz, 533MHz, 667MHz, and 800MHz processor FSB, but the circuit board design determines which of them are implemented; all supported FSB or only one. A chipset might support PGA, BGA, and LGA chip packages, but the circuit board design determines the form factor of the processor socket.

None of your questions could be answered by looking at the VIA chipset specs. VIA designs the chipset, it does not design the motherboards (except for its own VIA-branded boards). Only Fujitsu or someone with special knowledge of this particular Fujitsu motherboard could know the answer to any of your questions.

Based on an educated guess, your laptop probably could support standard Banias and Dothan based mobile parts, but not Yonah or Merom. Again, completely subject to Fujitsu BIOS and motherboard design.
