    I found and bought a Compaq C560US from Frys for $314. It came with a Celeron 520 1.6ghz cpu. I upgraded to a Core Duo T2250 that I got off ebay for $20. Did I make the right choice or should I have stuck with the Celeron?

    What other 533mhz fsb cpu would make this laptop better? I think I can only go upto a 2.16ghz cpu? Would a 667mhz fsb cpu be backwards compatable?

    One more question the graphics chip sucks on this laptop can it be upgraded?

    Core Duo is a good choice for $20. GPU cannot be upgraded.
