    I recently bought a Lenovo X100e with a MV-40 single core processor. I see that they are now offering the X100e with a X2 L325 dual core processor. I would like the faster processor but don't want to have to replace the computer. Since the MV-40 and X2 use the same socket, can I just replace the MV-40 with the X2 in my computer?
