    Hi there

    Am looking for a little guidance with my xps1530. I was stupid enough to purchase an xps1530 with a Intel t5750 cpu. Where as some might say these are ok chips, I want more power rahh.
    I have put desk tops together in the past but have no experience of upgrading the components in a laptop (bar ram). Is this a difficult job?
    I was wondering if anyone here has changed the cpu in axps1530? If so could someone kindly provide me with some directions?

    Many thanks
