    I own a toshiba satellite p100 and am wondering whether the cpu is interchangeable.
    for instance, is it possible to replace the t5600 with a t7500? Where could i acquire the parts? Are the improvements worth the cost?

    It's not worth the money or risk of taking it apart even if it's possible.

    t5600 with 7900gtx vs t7500 with 8600gt ddr3.
    obviously the first is better but by how much?
