    Hello and thanks in advance.

    I received a Dell Inspirion 1501 For Dads Day, It has a socket S1 Sempron 3500
    can I upgrade the processor to a Turion X2, And if so does the socket S1 Turion type make a difference, IE TL-50-TL-52-MK-36 etc.

    Yes, as long as the Sempron 3500+ is Socket S1 upgrading to a Turion X2 shouldnt be a problem. The TL-56 or TL-60 might be the best X2's to upgrade to from the 3500+.

    P.S - The MK-36 is a single core Turion. Only the models with a 'TL' in the begining of their model names are dual core Turions.

    (Though I don't think it's necessary but make sure to flash to the latest BIOS too]
