    Hey guys, I am just doing this for fun. I am looking to increase the speed of my old asus laptop, just having some issues figuring out what cpu motherboard combo to go with, most importantly that it they will be compataible.

    The current board in it is a 60-N3OMB1103-A04 with the Pentium B970 2.3 ghz, does anyone know what chipset this board uses? I have been looking at the same mb expcet models -A05 and -A06 (so I can use a i3,i5, or i7)... does anyone know the differences between all three of these. Specically I need the chipsets that each board uses.. so I can pick a cpu.

    Any help would be great, thanks.
