    Hello!

    I plan on buying an ASUS A4780KLP (roughly the z81k in America)
    and I wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade the CPU to a turion in lets
    say a year.
    If I figured this out right then I'll get a huge battery performance increas
    due to the low power level. The battery lasts 3 hours on the Athlon64 so I think
    4 hours will be possible installing a Turion.

    And do you think I can keep the cooler of the Athlon64? AFAIK the Turion should run
    cooler so there should be no problem I think.

    Cu Huhn
