    See secs here Komplett.no - Toshiba Satellite A500D-111 16" WXGA

    Now it uses a AMD Turion II M500 2,2 Ghz, whats the best CPU upgrade i can give this machine?

    Would it take a AMD Turion II Ultra M660 at 2.7 GHz?

    Where could i buy this CPU? The besti can find on ebay is m620 at 2,5 ghz

    You can upgrade to any M series with Socket S1G3 compatibility.
    Anyway AMD CPUS can run quite hot therefore you might want to undervolt it using K10stat.
