    I have an M285 tablet, which is great except Gateway says I can't upgrade the processor (which I think is a load of... well, you know). I have upgraded the RAM so I have 3GB, but am planning on making it have 4GB once I install 64 bit vista on it.

    Here are the details I see from CPUz:
    Processor (Inter T2400, Socket 479mPGA, 1.83Ghz, 2MB L2 cache)
    Motherboard (M285-E 78.06, chipset Intel i945GM Rev. 3)
    Bios (Phoenix Technologies, version 78.06)

    If I can switch out the processor on this motherboard, what do I need to look for when shopping for it?

    I saw somewhere that there was a T5600 processor used in another M285 but I can't be sure it had the same board in it.

    Thanks! :D
