    Hey Guys,

    I wrote a post yesterday about upgrading the processor of my DV9040US, and I got a little confused, some told me that it is impossible and others said I can but they don´t know witch ones I can use. So if any one knows something please help me!!!! Here are the specs:

    Microprocessor: 1.66 GHz Intel® Centrino® Duo mobile technology featuring Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5500
    Microprocessor Cache: 2MB L2 Cache, 667MHz FSB
    Memory: 2048MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    Video Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600

    Thanks

    In theory it should be able to use up to a T7600 2.33Ghz 667Mhz FSB processor. I don't think the BIOS in your lappy is locked against it.
