Yep, I would recommend directing all upgrades on a Laptop to the professionals. There are services that do this for you. Desktop PC's is the best to upgrade, much easier. More space. A laptop is all compacted and would need to be took apart piece by piece. |

putting cpu in a desktop is still quiet hard but even someone from the 15th century could do it but for laptops i just recommend forgetting about it and buying a quad core dual procceosr laptop for only $1000 |

#1: Putting a new CPU in a desktop is nearly as easy as swapping RAM sticks.

First find out what the mainboard in your laptop can handle.
Can it handle a CPU faster than the one in there right now?
The motherboard specifications usually tell you up to what speed the motherboard can go.
Next, find a faster processor with a suitable socket (the one your mobo is using).
And install.
As stated above, laptops are a bit trickier to open up, but it's all doable. You may have to remove a lot of components, like your gfx card, hdd etc to get to your cpu. |

Nice laptop, wy would u upgrade to faster ? The risk u dammage
anything by opening the laptop is high. I have opened about 15 laptops past years
but laptops have very hmmmm how u say tyni , tini .. little parts , some things u need
special tools to open, or remove. The costs for a new cpu , and the risk ? ..
My advise, leave as it is.

Yeah, I'll have to agree with several above me... laptop upgrading is nowhere near as simple as a desktop PC upgrade.
Thats one of the downsides of a laptop, its not a simple case of popping the case side off, unlatching the cooler and CPU and switching the processors. Laptops are put together in such a way that (as mentioned above) you'll probably have to remove several other components in order to even find where the CPU is located.
If you want more power and dont need the mobility... get a desktop PC - they're more powerful anyway and you can very easily switch individual components as they become outdated. |

Mine probably is then 
Core 2 Duo T7300, 2GB RAM, GF 8600M GT 256Mb (can use up to 768Mb of system RAM as well for a sweet 1Gb video RAM), Dolby Home Theater and built in subwoofer (ok its not amazing but for a laptop this thing kicks out a fairly decent tune )
Plays every game I've got max res, max settings at a very nice framerate and can do it on batteries if it needs to... although it sucks the battery dry running at full speed in no time - running the CPU cores at 40% frequency and the GFX on 'Max Power Savings' (ie massive underclocking) I can happily play Civ4 perfectly normally for about 4 hours before the battery dies. Pretty impressive 
Acer Aspire 5920
http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_5920G_Laptop_LX.AGW0X.169/version-1.asp
Acer cant cope with demand (for obvious reasons), practically nowhere has any stock... and when they do they sell out in no time at all. I actually got mine cheaper so the price has gone up in the last few weeks as well...
Happy drooling
Ghost Kid - I hapily play CnC3 on this. No problem. Also GRAW and GRAW2 at a comfortable 40fps on medium to max settings. Laptops certainly can play games... a few years back they weren't so good for it but these days... well they're certainly looking more attractive! |

1GB (soon to be 2GB ) PC 2700
ATi x1950XT 256MB

As for your problem, Ghostkid you're going to be more specific than "it won't work." |

I thought this was a laptop topic, not a 'brag about your desktop pc'-topic!
The laptop I have right now is 4 years old and becoming a bit obsolete.
It's a 1.3 GHz Pentium M, 1 GB PC2700 RAM, 128 MB DDR Ati 9600 mobility.
It runs most new games barely on lowest settings, although it did run CnC3 quite well, it can't cope with games a like GRAW.
Pretty much the reason I bought a new desktop (oops, i did it ) |
