    Hi, I was wondering whether the CPU on the Dell Vostro V13 is upgradable or not. Is the CPU soldered onto the motherboard? What I want to do is buy the cheapest model and buy an aftermarket Core 2 Duo to install in it. Anyone have an idea whether it can be done or not? Thank You.

    Probably soldered on like all CULVs.
