    I need to replace my processor. Right now, its description is: PROCESSOR, T7250, 2.0, 2MB, CMER, M0
    Can I upgrade it to a faster one? If yes, which one?
    My installed RAM is 667Mhz.

    referring to other threads, it seems that you can upgrade to T9500..

    Thanks. I finally ordered online the T8300 because it was much cheaper than the T9500, and the difference in speed was relatively small (2.4 GHz instead of 2.6 GHz).
