    My budget only permits the Core Solo processor (T1300 1.66GHz) at this time.

    Anybody know if I can upgrade the CPU to a Core Duo sometime down the road? Perhaps a T2600 - 2.16GHz.

    I've checked the Intel site, and they seem to be "pin-compatible."

    Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...

    I didn't know the answer, so I asked our Hardware Expert (Chazman), and he said that you could very easily.

    Yeah, they are pin-compatible and since Dell supports the core duo CPUs in that line, you shouldn't have any problem.
