    Hi!
    I've got Benq S73EG. It's processor Celeron M 410 1,46GHz 533MHz. Mainboard has i945PM chipset. Can I upgrade it to Core Duo or Core2Duo? I saw Core(2)Duo has 667MHz. But there is version of my laptop (benq s73e - my is cheaper version) with Core Duo T5500 so I think i can upgrade.

    It will be bigger boost of performance if I change cpu for Core Duo or 2Duo? I've got 1GB ram.

    The new cpu is quite expensive for me, I think if it's better to change all laptop.
