    I got a big qustion about upgrades on a laptop.

    I company told me that they can upgrade a M570A to a M570U.
    All they had to do is change the CPU and MB to comply with the Yonah processor.
    Is this possible?
    I have a couple conflicting answers to this in another forum and would like to know the real answer to this.

    I already have heard that Yonah is compatible with Merom.
    Found a post stating that Yonah is compatible with Merom here:
    http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...019183430.html

    So I was hoping for is to get the M570A now and then upgrade it to the 32bit Dual Core Yonah processor and then upgrade it to the 64bit Dual Core Merom processor when it gets available.
