    Does anyone know what cpu I can buy to upgrade my notebook? I was able to find that it uses a SiS Mirage M661MX chipset and supports pentium M processors, can anyone confirm this? But SiS website doesn't say to what speed it'll support, I'm guessing any pentium M?

    Thanks in advance.

    the unit can be bought with a 1.5 ghz pentium m. Intel Pentium M processor 715 (2 MB L2 cache, 1.5 GHz, 400 MHz FSB) to be precise.

    as long as you stay within the thermal envelope and FSB speed of this CPU you should be fine.
