Laptop upgrade possibilities
I am getting a "hand-me-down" lappy soon and was wondering what upgrade possibilities there are for the cpu and/or mobo. It is a 2.6 GHz Pentium 4 (I didnt even know they put these things in laptops, and from my experience the laptop is hot as h$ll a few minutes after you turn it on so battery life porbably isnt that good), has 965 random megabytes of memory, a 60 gig HD, and an ATI radeon 900m with 64 megs (kinda sucks). I was wondering if I was able to put maybe an HT processor in it without a new mobo or be able to change the mobo and get the soon-to-be-released core 2 duo. thanks
