    Hello everybody,
    I have a lenovo s10-3t netbook. I wonder if itÂ’s possible to upgrade the processor from the atom n450 to the newer models such as n470 and above?
    Cheers

    No Atom processors are BGA soldered onto the motherboard. That would require you to replace the entire motherboard. Also a faster Atom won't help with responsiveness, the problem is the Atom processors themselves (they benchmark equal to older Celeron M). See if you can go to a ULV Core 2 or Core i series processors, they are significantly more powerful than Atom.
