    Is it possible to upgrade the CPU on a Dell D810 to a Dual Core CPU?

    Current CPU is Pentium M Centrino 2.0GHz

    Thanks,

    Mike

    No, unfortunately, you cannot upgrade to a dual core. The Pentium M uses a different pin configuration to the newer Core Duo and Core 2 Duo, so it physically impossible to install a Core Duo/Core 2 Duo into the socket.
