In general, notebook CPU upgrades are not possible. This is for a number of reasons, including original CPUs & coolers installed in a non-removable fashion, lack of sufficient power capacity, lack of sufficient cooling capacity, lack of BIOS support, and others.

Please answer his question THANK YOU!

Maybe yes but you must verify w/ the vendor to see if the CPU is not "Permanently Attached" - Bear in mid that if your mobo chipset Supports only 800FSB; don't buy 1066FSB CPU's because they won't work at all. Verify the Chipset first - Go to the vendors website and upgrade the lappie's BIOS and verify the TYPE of chipset - The 965 chipset (GME or P) are compatible with 800FSB CPU's only. The best CPU for the money id the T9500 2.6GHz Processor, 800MHz FSB, 6MB L2 cache, 35.0W, 45nm
