    I have a Socket S1 Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop with currently a single core 2ghz turion. Can I upgrade to a Turion X2? I'm specifically looking for the 65nm Turion 64 X2 TL-68. If it's compatible, do you know where can I buy it in USA??

    Thanks in advance, help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I have a Turion TL-52 socket S1 (638) so maybe, the heat could be an issue but coolers could help. Google will find where to buy, that is not hard. Would your BIOS support? Could you Flash Bios?
