Dell 1501 hdd/cpu support

Hey just wondering if anyone know what cpu the inpiron 1501 supports and if i can install any notebook harddrive in this lappy?
thnks

 

As long as it's a SATA drive, you're in good shape.

 

thanks good to know, anyone know if it even posible to upgrade these processors?

 

What processor do you have? Chances are it can be upgraded, but it's almost never worth the money/hassle.

 

Lithus makes a very good point. Processors are normally never worth the hassle to upgrade, and the cost is quite excessive. Its normally much better to upgrade the hard disk to a faster one, and/or add more RAM.

 

i have a tl-50 1.6ghz dual-core, i was just wondering for the future when prices drop and ill but the tl-66 or something high end in because i know this proc is goin to get outdated very quickly with amd phenom core comming out soon. i have a 5400rpm 120gb waiting for the something decent (seagate or such) to come out with a 10k or 250+gb, and my ram is maxed out at 2bg would buying some high end corsiar or such memory actauly produce decent increases (rather expensive)

 

The move is towards SSD on notebook not 10k.

 

ssd is not going to be maturing for long time especialy for drives size and they are gona be super expensive, 10k rite now are on the market but i gues a 7200 would be just as good

 

SSD will be mainstream within 1-2 years at reasonable prices guaranteed....you will still see the loud platter setups for larger storage, more than likely external (500gb-2tb)

 

so has anyone seen/done a cpu upgrade on one of these laptops before?

 

RAM operates to a specification brand makes no difference. Can you upgrade CPU? I don't know. I can tell you they use the same socket (good). But TL-66 is 65nm 35W yours is 90nm 31W. Don't know if that matters.

 

yah i im hoping the cooling can keep up with the heat output but 4w i think will be fine
