    I would like to upgrade my Inspiron 1318 processor. The main reason is because I need the Intel VT-x extensions, which the T6500 does not support. What I am concerned about is if the Dell BIOS on the laptop (A06) will not allow VT-x to be enabled. Does anyone have any information about this?

    Also, I would like to upgrade my LCD to a higher resolution. Is there such a possible upgrade?

    If the motherboard doesn't support VT-x then you are outta luck.

    I don't see a higher resolution upgrade for this model..
