    Turn notebook around, identify the model number, it will be something like:

    V1XSXB1
    or
    V1XSXA1
    where X-es can be void or have numeric values.

    V1S-A1, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7500 (2.20GHz)
    V1S-B1, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7700 (2.40GHz)

    Everything else is the same, except maybe the price.

    And possibly a different BIOS (more specifically a newer one)?

    Whoah didn't realize excaliber joined the forums. Nice to have another of the resellers join the forums.

    The B1 has T7700 (2.4GHz) processor while A1 has T7500 (2.2GHz).

    Edit: oops Ex seems to have beaten me.

    BIOS should be the same (or at least updatable to the same version)

    Do you think it is possible to stick in a 2.4Ghz processor into an V1S-A1 machine then?

    Yep. But I don't see why you would want to do that. The real-life performance increase would be minimal. Plus you'd void your warranty by breaking the heatsink seal.
