    Hi,

    I've a Acer Aspire 7110 notebook with a Celeron M 420 @ 1.6 GHz.

    CPU-Z tells me:
    Intel Celeron M 240 @ 1596.1 MHz, Yonah, Socket 479 mPGA, Family 6, Model E, Steping 8, Ext. Family 6, Ext. Model E, Revision C0

    In the system device manager I found a hidden processor driver "Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2400 @1.83 GHz" so I think about an upgrade. :rolleyes:

    Does anyone have experience in doing this? :cool:

    Try cpuz for a more accurate reading of your processors.

    But in anyway, yes you can upgrade to either a yonah dual core or a merom dual core. They just have to be socket M and you have to make sure that you install the latest BIOS for your machine.

    It isnt exactly as you say. The laptop needs also a chipset supporting dual core and/or higher FSB.
