    If I'm not mistaken, the W7J is a Napa platform like my V6J, which would mean that you can upgrade to Merom up to T7600. To keep the costs reasonable you'll want to stick with the T7400, though.

    Make sure there is an updated BIOS that supports Merom, however. (there shouldn't be any problems, just make sure before you buy)

    Yep, E.B.E is 100% correct, T7600 is the highest supported processor. Any of that series will work from T5600, T7200, T7400, T7600. The key here is the 667mhz FSB and the socket configuration which should be socket 479 and not socket P on the newer machines.
