[Guest]

Hello,
I am interested to find out what is the fastest CPU that could be replaced in my laptop to improve the poor performance. I do not know the chipset of this laptop

Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

U can't replace the CPU of a laptop. Even if u know the chipset of the laptop, find a CPU that can fit in the mobo and the laptop and don't have overheating problems will be more expensive that buy a new laptop.

Of course you can. I'm doing it on a Thinkpad right now.

The problem is that I now have 815,944 microscopic parts scattered all over my desk that will have to go back in the right places. In addition, because the OP is working on a P-II class *Compaq* system you must assume proprietary parts that will break due to age as soon as they are manipulated.

Long story short, that laptop isn't worth upgrading in even the smallest way. I wouldn't buy a can of air to clean off the keyboard for that system.

^I know that he can, I just mean for a old laptop like he says, could be more expensive that buy a new one.
