Single to dual core hp pavilion dv2

[Iwanator]

I got a Hp pvailion dv2-1160ed. Is it possible I can put a athlon x2 neo or turion x2 neo in the current socket asb1 motherboard that I have now with a single core athlon neo? I know the tdp is 3 watts higher but will that matter?

If not possible, can I swap it then for a motherboard that was designed for the x2s? Will all my ports like USB, Hdmi line up?

I hope somebody can help me out.

can you source a processor inexpensively? The best test is usually to see if that model of laptop was ever available with a turion x2 or something.

a motherboard swap is not likely to be a good option.

You're probably best off just picking up a cheap new laptop- something like the HP stream that I've seen for about $150 will probably have better performance that a turion x2.
